[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good luck, OP. I hope you have a kid with stellar stats - highest rigor, nothing less than an A, discovered a cure for cancer, and founded their own nonprofit. [/quote]

Our kid that got in both had the first two criteria you’ve laid out but certainly not the second. It’s competitive but come on.[/quote]

Our kid also got into both schools this year and had a couple B+ and A- with upward trends and also went TO (no crazy ECs other than what school and sports offer).  I think highlighting rigor continuing into senior year and growth as a person really helped.  There was no trauma essay but utilizing the entire application to explain your growth is important to AOs (use the additional comments section to explain ANYTHING you think needs explaining in a genuine manner).

I know my kid has friends with higher and more perfect stats but I think some of these schools want to see the human on these applications not just the perfect student.  Lastly, they didn't ED to any school, only EA and RD.[/quote]
