[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has similar stats, cast a wide net and still got nothing. Waitlisted a couple of places. [/quote] Ugh! Sorry, PP. Do any of the waitlists look promising?[/quote] If your kid had a 35 and "still got nothing," he/you clearly did something wrong and didn't apply to the right schools. Tons of schools would salivate over a kid with those stats.[/quote] Did you watch that you tube video on the other thread? A kid with 1590 was rejected at Northeastern and USC![/quote] USC is a top 20 school and nothing to count on regardless of your stats and Northeastern is in the top 50. I do think that kid should have had a strong shot at NE but they may be yield protecting. The first thing parents need to do is forget any perceptions they had of schools when they applied 30 years ago. You need to cast a wide net and not just fixate on high rankings. And apply to and show interest to multiple schools that seem very likely admits. High stats kids can get rejected when colleges think you won't come. Even VT, which DCUM likes to dis as a safety for everyone with it's 70% admit rate, waitlisted a ton of kids this year with great stats.[/quote]
