[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you and your DD have a right to be disappointed. My high stats DC is too when we see low SAT students getting in to the top 5 schools (1390 SAT). This is happening and should be investigated.[/quote]

Yes, DD said that one of her classmates that got into Brown (RD) had around a 1370 SAT and much lower GPA. ECs + essays must have been phenomenal...[/quote]

It’s so hard. Maybe that student was TO? Legacy? Athlete. And you’re right, the essays do matter. It’s hard to accept. But often, when we dig deeply and honestly, we know that there are reasons. Somehow, even on paper, depth, dedication, creativity etc do shine theough[/quote]

This is why $510M is being cut at Brown. I recently sat in on a student session from a top 3 school and was horrified by the poor communication skills of one of the students. Who are they letting in these days? She will be probably become an AO. [/quote]
Brown was one of the schools that DD had the least hope for due to their very holistic approach - They seek the "quirky" applicants.[/quote]
