[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]35 ACT and 3.7 UW GPA from a strong Boston private, average ECs, full pay girl - overshot ED, then did not get into any T 50 schools.  Ended up at St Andrews[/quote]

Which T50s did she apply to?[/quote]

This was not the last cycle but within the last few. 
 
Reaches were too high.

Tufts, BC, BU, NYU, Michigan, Wisconsin were targets and got on some WL but not taken off. She have EDed at tufts.

In the us go into GW, Elon, Providence College

Rigorous private - did not have highest rigor, as noted ECs lackluster.  Was in the cohort from Covid were half of hs was online and everyone’s GPAs were weird, maybe over inflated.  It was just a bad combination of a tough admissions year, covid weirdness, and not selling herself properly. She got into every international school applied to: McGill, Queens, St. Andrews, Edinburgh

What was the ED reach?[/quote]

Not going to say specific ED, but reaches were Cornell, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Chicago, and JHU

Why not? It’s anonymous and we’re all trying to learn from each other.[/quote]
