[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid who was a NMS, had 35 ACT, countless APs and extremely high GPA, three sport athlete and involved in leadership activities got rejected by almost every Ivy League (she didn’t apply to one - rejected by the rest).

Very jaded here. [/quote]

It isn't her.  I know you know that but you need to keep repeating it.  It isn't her.

We have 4 kids either graduated from or are currently attending Ivies.  Each of our kids have told us the same thing:  the scandal has caused all sorts of craziness with Ivy admissions.  In the past 2 years our kids have seen an incredible downward trend in the quality of admitted students.

Our kids say they and their friends have noticed and commented about the poor caliber of incoming students.  One of their friends is a TA as he is pursuing his PhD and he wrote the most scathing closed blog post about the quality of this year's Freshman class.  I don't know if the Ivies admissions groups will be able to get back on course or not.  It will be interesting to see.

Just keep repeating, PP, it isn't my daughter, it is the bad process.  Hugs to your daughter that she loves where she ends up choosing and knowing that they wanted her for her.[/quote]
