[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC will ED2 to Bowdoin if doesn’t get into Dartmouth.

4.0uw, highest rigor at public that sends 10 percent of class to Ivies. 
1550, 35 single sitting
All 5s on 6 APs
Good but not extraordinary ECs
Wants to double major in Biochem, Sociology [/quote]
No. Please go down a rung for ED2.[/quote]

Why?  According to school’s Scoir data, everyone with a similar academic profile has gotten into Bowdoin in the last six years. [/quote]
This is general college admissions advice. Go down a rung for ED2. Bowdoin is not an easier admit for Dartmouth.

If you have school data, great. Who were those kids? Any first-gen, hooked, recruited athletes? Ask the guidance counselor.[/quote]
To add, were they ED1 apps? Do you know? ED2 is a tougher admit, almost universally, than ED1. I am not suggesting down a rung like so,e directional state uni: Middlebury )which gives a big ED boost because 70% of class is filled ED) or something…[/quote]

3 kids have applied ED in the last 6 years. One was an athlete. The other accepted had a 1500 and 3.8.  The third was rejected with a 3.7 and test optional.

The rest of the applicants were RD. Overall, the average admitted student from our school has a 3.82/4.36 and a 1515.  DC has a 4/4.53 and a 1550. [/quote]
Your call obviously. Was the one non-athlete accepted ED1 or ED2? It might well be a 50/50, whereas a Midd would be 70/30. Just be aware and don’t assume admission with those numbers, is all I’m saying.[/quote]

The non-athlete was ED2. Thanks for all the unsolicited advice about a kid and HS you know next to nothing about!  DC has a lot of schools they would be happy to attend, so let the chips fall where they may. [/quote]
