[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It appears that it is harder to get into college than when we all applied. But what about for the very high stats kids?

Can some of you please share how it went for your child who went through the process if your kid was max rigor, 1550 plus, top grades, great but not national award winning extracurricular.

My child is having trouble finishing up their college lists and part of the reason is we really just have no idea how it will all go with the reach schools. We also don't know what school is "worth" taking your shot early. This child will be happiest with an intense, highly academic crowd.[/quote]

Good luck to yours! Rest assured elite admissions happen even for unhooked, no ED:  admitted to 4 top 10s and 2 in the 15-25 range, Valedictorian, top stats, great recs, did have some rare/selective academic honors though, and extensive ECs. RD admission at least one school in the Top 10 or 15 works out for a decent amount of true top kids. Some unfortunately get shut out. A lot depends on the high school track record with elite schools and how your kid compares to other top-rigor kids applying to elites. [/quote]
