[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outright rejected. 1570 SAT, 3.97UW/4.83W at magnet. Nat'l & state awards, Capt of sports team, unique/complimentary ECs w/ regional/state recognition, various service, Nat'l Merit, AP scholar/distinction, club pres.

Such a bummer. Wondering were there that many applying from this area? Or, should we worry about a rec?

Seems they cut over 50% this year, took fewer and deferred much fewer.  Knocked the wind out of kid's sails a bit. Did not expect an admit, but thought they'd at least get deferred. [/quote]

So sorry--we had a similar experience (outright denied not deferred) this week (not quite Yale-caliber school, but close to it)...the rejection definitely stings. But it does look like schools are rejecting more and deferring less (probably good in the long run...why keep hope alive).  I saw some statistic that Yale rejected 60 percent of EA applicants, up from something like 30 percent last year...same thing with the school my DC applied to.

It is tough but these kids are resilient and will rebound...good luck.[/quote]

Yes, totally agree on all counts. And, thanks. So sorry for yours too. I hope they both get more love in RD![/quote]
