[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ is incredibly competitive so it’s hard to tell if admissions-wise kids who are good (but not the best at TJ) would have been better off staying at their base school. DC was a good student at TJ and was fortunate to receive acceptances by Northwestern, Cornell, Rice among others. But rejected or waitlisted from HYPSM, Duke, Columbia, Caltech, UPenn, Brown. At the time we wondered if an acceptance could’ve been earned from one of the latter 10 schools if DC graduated from regular public with everything else[/quote]

comments like this completely baffle me - applying to every T15 screams prestige seeker - no concern about fit - [/quote]

Yeah, I don't get this either.  These are very different schools. My Blair kid applied to a few T15 but ones that appealed to her for course of study, campus dynamic etc. Also,  many of these schools have supplements.  These take time and energy to make a good impression. This may be part of the issue for PP's rejections/WL, not just the competitive cohort. Mine also had some LAC targets and likelies and umd.
