[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a bit shaken. I promise you I am not a troll. We were certainly not advised to apply to an Ivy by the school.
My kid is hoping for a T20 but we felt it would be a huge reach based on the published stats and that we should look at more realistic schools  instead and apply EA.
I truly feel clueless now.

OP, I’m the PP with the junior son. It’s possible these posters are correct but I’d get some more “in real life” data points. There are a lot of posters on this site who are very bitter about the advantages given in the admissions process to URM and I’m concerned some of them are on this thread an overstating the advantage because they are convinced this process is a walk in the park if you are an URM.

Prior to the Harvard trial, there were much less “big data” points…

….the Harvard case blew all the data into the open

It is a walk in the park if you hit certain concrete thresholds such as op’s kid has

In fact there is more confidence to go into applications post Harvard (but pre scotus) because of the data released during discovery
