[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok you have one kid who made it to all HYPSM. Something about her application resonated with the admissions officers. Congrats. But I don't think everyone should be following your advice. Mine as just accepted early to 1 HYPSM this cycle. I suppose he had a spike (and barb) as do most interesting kids who are accepted to HYPSM.[/quote]

I would completely agree with this. You think you're an expert based on a sample size of one. I see this all the time in my field. Believe me, they are not experts. Neither are you.

I applied to 3 tippy top schools back in my day. Accepted at all 3. I thought at the time I knew the reason these schools all accepted me. Then I gave it no thought for years and years. Until my kids got to college app age. Now, I think it was a different part of my profile entirely. Was I right as an 18 year old or a 50 year old? Who knows.

The whole point is that you think you know what resonated in your DD's app but really you don't know. [/quote]
