[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was at 8, but than a deferral that should have been a sure thing (according to counselors, ppl at school, etc) made my kid panic and submit a bunch more over break.  He was always going to be around 6-8. If he had gotten into the EA--he would have stopped. He ended up doing 9 over break for a total of 17 which seems crazy to us. But, I'm hearing it's norm for kids with his stats (UW 4.0, high scores, etc)[/quote]

same in our house - a defer from what was expected to be an admit (coach support + scores & GPA &gt;50%) + ED rejection means went from 8 to 15 over the break... friends at top tier NE boarding school are talking 25[/quote]

Didn’t they do a “pre-read” for him/her?!?!! They usually do that first before kid commits.[/quote]

club sport (he on a national team not USA (team ranks similar to USA) he a dual citizen & we live overseas) - its an olympic sport; coaches have influence (can tag app so you know it gets read is main point + you rate high on EC) + team had multiple alum interview and write recs for him; the school just won national small school championship - logic was if you &gt; than 50% on SAT & with 4.0 unweighted with such tag, assumed would get in (comment from coach was 'SHOCKED' comment from school counselor was 'this year EA apps & quality of applicants through the roof) prefer not to disclose the school name[/quote]
