[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, please.  :roll:  OP, all you are doing is showing how you didn’t understand the process and thought your DC was somehow extra special and high stats meant they were more deserving of top slots than other equally qualified kids. This has always been a numbers game. There are far more top stat kids than T20 spaces. You needs to manage expectations and be more strategic about applications. I’ve had two top stat kids (1550+ SAT, 4.5+ WGPA, ECs) get into top schools - one with only 6 applications (accepted at all 6, one T20), one with 7 (accepted 5 (3 T10), 2 waitlist, 1 reject). They both did EA and RD. They both really identified schools that were a good fit for them and that they brought something to. There was a strategy about rolling decision, then EA and then RD priorities. EA included actual targets (hello best fir state school.) EA admits meant many schools dropped off the RD list. If you have a good strategy and realistic expectations, your top stats kid doesn’t need to be stressed all year.

So the OP does not get that there are "not enough spots" and to illustrate that you share that your kids both got into top schools?  In fact, most of all the top schools they applied to? Talk about tone deaf.  [/quote]

You missed some. Her kids also identified schools to which THEY “brought something.” 🙄[/quote]
