[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's kind of relative too. Our AD told me once that while they got a lot of applications, the actual pool of candidates they deemed qualified was about 10% of the total. The admissions rate among that group was about 80% (and they hated to WL any of them, but there are only so many seats in the class). So, if you are considered highly qualified, your chances are great. If you aren't (90% of applicants), your chances are zero.[/quote]

What would mark you as highly qualified as a rising freshman?[/quote]

I’m curious this too. There’s so many bright and talented students in this area. What makes some qualified vs highly qualified [/quote]

Having graduated kids from 2 different "Big3" schools in the past 2 years I can say confidently that these schools want kids they can place in top colleges, including of course into the Ivy league. 
Who are the only kids that have a shot at the Ivies from the DC privates?

-top 20% of the grade
-recruited athletes
-legacies who are also strong students
-URM who are also strong students
-children of VIPs who are also strong students

These high schools are looking for these kids.  [/quote]
