DD  had straight As, even in APs and honors, won the Wellesley Book Award, was a STEM student, could pay full tuition anywhere, cash. Played sports as well. Great SAT scores. White female with no legacy, rejected from everything but her safeties. Applied to no Ivys by choice.

Don’t tell me her race didn’t play a role in this liberal academic environment [/quote]

You really can’t use just GPAs and SATs to compare a given kid to the kids who were accepted, but Naviance only shows these stats. At the top colleges, they’re looking for STEM students who are Intel finalists. They’re looking for athletic kids who captained a team to a state or national championship, which brings out the college athletic recruiters.

Also, ED is key, if you’re full pay.

It’s brutal out there, and Naviance doesn’t let you know just how brutal it is. Naviance doesn’t show you the Intel awards or athletic recruits or ED acceptances.

It’s harder for white girls than for whites boys simply because there are more white girls with the requisite stats who are applying, which is a cultural problem. [/quote]
