[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Deferred. 3.9 UW, all top rigor and math, NYC private, 1500 SAT (but 800 on math) and legacy. Good ECs but nothing on national level or super quirky. Hoping it comes through in March. Disappointed but not shocked. His school got 6 in EA last year and this year only 1. Hoping things shake out in the spring.[/quote]

Your DC's FC?

I have either had kids or close friends with kids graduating HS over the last six or so years and this year seems like a departure from the last three years as HS '21 was a departure from HS '20 and preceding years. Am hearing about "last year Cornell took 5 and the year before 4 but this year 1" or the MI example above with a lot more frequency. It always seems tough when it is your kid's year, but from my POV, looking at it over this span, this feels like another inflection point.

Yes, his first choice. He was clear about that in his app and said he didn't go ED anywhere. We now know 3 kids from his school did get in and none were in the same level of advanced classes as he was. He knows that two had ACT scores of 32 and 33 (he didn't ask, they are good friends). All generally regular students -- no one was a standout or URM or anything. Definitely Cornell was a lot different this year at NYC privates. It's been a rough few days and even though you keep telling the kids it's not you, it's numbers, etc, this stung him. [/quote]
