[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your child will do well on the SAT/ACT - since you said are also strong in humanities.  So the higher ranked schools that are very numbers based and where legacy plays little to no role, -MIT, CMU, Hopkins etc. will be more in reach than Ivies (unless your DC is a legacy, than a high SAT and strong GPA will be enough to get them in.)

Fingers crossed DC will do well on the SAT/ACT! DC actually is a legacy at two HYPS, but admissions is still such a crapshoot that I want DC to focus more on safeties/likelies than reaches.[/quote]

Then the schools mentioned here need to be checked for yield protection (looking at you CWRU, U Michigan) because they will see the full package plus legacy and will WL your child. [/quote]

If your child can get over a 1500/34 and keep an UW 3.5 GPA, and you are full-pay,  they will absolutely get into your alma-maters. Whicheverone they prefer, have them apply ED.[/quote]

Of course I would love for this to be true, but just don’t think it’s realistic. DC (and we as parents) must manage expectations.[/quote]
