[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope, my high stats kid attended their safety school last year.

-waitlisted at a super-reach, rejected from one other reach
-rejected from 2 targets, accepted at in-state flagship/honors - was a target but they wanted out of state
-accepted at 2 out of state safetys, went to one of them

Turns out my kid is very happy there![/quote]

Could you give a little background about generally which high school your kid attended (public/private, county, magnet, etc)

Many thanks and glad your kid is at a place where he/she is happy.[/quote]

Was in a magnet at a public, we are full pay, and applications were submitted EA in early and mid September.  The 2 targets where they were rejected should have been acceptances (based on GPA, test scores which were submitted, ECs, etc).

Like I said, our child is doing well and is extremely  happy where they landed.  I still fume about those 2 schools.  My child is clearly a better person than I am![/quote]

Your kid prob. went to TJ, is male and you are probably Asian.  Typical story for a lot of Asian kids at TJ.   The ones that do get in are working with a college admissions counselor and creating a narrative/story over high school to get into a T10 (e.g. I want to go to med school to solve heart disease because by grandma had a heart attack and btw, here's an app I created to detect heart disease early and oh by the way, I also work with low income people to detect heart disease early so it can be prevented).  With very, very, very few exceptions, anyone who gets into an Ivy or a T10 school is doing that.  [/quote]
