[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1500+ SAT all As at highly regarded private (school doesn’t offer AP classes but DC took 4 and got 4s and 5s). Varsity sport, leadership in ECs. Legacy - rejected. Waitlisted at all others.  No acceptances today. Brutal. [/quote]

The SFA v Harvard lawsuit — everyone is on notice that every action might get second guessed by a federal judge
