NYC mom, are you here?[/quote]

NYC mom! Things played out very similarly to my original post, but overall it was a hard year. I don't know full numbers yet but Ivy accepts seem to be down by a third overall, and it was particularly brutal for boys in STEM.

The bright spot was in the T20 non-Ivies, with more high-stats kids who might have tried for Ivies in years past committing ED to Chicago, Emory, Tufts, NU, WASP, etc. It's such a hard and awful compromise to make but for unhooked kids who held out for Ivy REA/RD, the ratio of surprises on the upside vs downside was probably 1:9 - and many of those kids also got straight rejected from what they thought were T50 targets. In other words, statistically these kids DC were far better off taking the non-Ivy ED - except you/they have to live with the "what if."[/quote]

Same for us.
non-DMV private.

Yes we've seen it was bad for white and asian boys and girls in STEM. Top stats and top ECs and shut out of Ivies. I think its bad ED choices (why unhooked ppl REA to HYPS I don't ever understand).

But surprisingly, a lot of options in RD for T11-25. Especially for humanities. Those kids KILLED it in RD. 
Northwestern in particular seemed to admit a lot more than normal. Same for Cornell, Dartmouth, and Brown. And Vanderbilt and WashU.
Duke was extraordinarily hard this year.[/quote]

Very bad RD here for T11-25 for anyone outside the top 10 kids in the class. 
DMV private ("Big3").  Vanderbilt, Northwestern require HYP level stats which is a 3.9+ so as a result there have been next to no admits except for kids top5 in the class and no matriculations in 5 years. Brown also wants a 3.9+.  Duke just takes hooked kids.  I'm not sure off the top of my head about the other schools listed. 
It was a rough year for anyone not hooked who did not ED and for those who were deferred to a top15 ED---a number of top20% kids shut out of the top25. [/quote]

Could it be major related?
Were most of those kids STEM, business, engineering, CS?[/quote]
