[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s roughly 400 kids graduating from DCs school this year. The top kids have been in the same classes all 4 years and know each other’s ranking and test scores. The top 2% of graduating class (8 kids) all had 4.0 uw and 1500+ SATs. This is how acceptances went for them: 1. Carnegie Mellon (shut out of Ivies) 2. UMD (shut out of Ivies and top SLACs) 3. UMD (shut out of Ivies) 4. Johns Hopkins (recruited athlete) 5. Yale (first gen) 6. UMD 7. Penn (first gen) 8. Princeton (URM) All great, hard working, top scores, excellent EC kids, but like PP said there just isn’t enough room for all high achievers at the tippy top.[/quote] The UMD kids (if in-state) are saving a boatload of money that can go to grad school, car, home etc expenses. They may not realize it now, but once at UMD will likely find their place and thrive.[/quote]
