[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year my daughter was waitlisted at 4 different schools. All 4 are now listed #13. 
She is attending a school that is in the 20s and loving it. But I find it interesting that all these schools that are ranked the same also ranked her as waitlist. [/quote]

My son is applying to two of the 13s this year and his Naviance suggests he has a ~25% chance of admission and a ~75% chance of WL.  Neither have ever rejected a 1500 from his school but even with 1500 they are far from automatic.  The WL would end up being a polite rejection presumably.

He’s looking at 4 schools in the #20-30 range, and they all appear to be almost safeties per his Naviance.  FWIW, these school rankings seem to align with his Naviance selectivity, which seems to be largely driven by SAT score.

My assumption, coming from his public HS, is that for these SLACs grades have to be close to 4.0, max rigor, and despite the assertion that test scores are only one data point, if unhooked you have to have the test scores. In other words, be around 75% in the 25%-75% range. [/quote]
