[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trying to figure out where the lottery line/actual chance actually is for a T20.

1500, 3.85/4.6, 12 AP?[/quote]
Well two years ago my 1560, 3.98/4.5, 9 AP+2DE kid was denied by 2 ivies and WL at UVA and NEU...[/quote]

Expected…without more. This is the holistic view and why other posters said you need more than just scores. [/quote]

I bet UVA would have admitted if ED. This is a common mistake. [/quote]

Mistake? I guess your view is high stats kids should settle on UVA even if they don’t want to ED there bc they have a good chance for admission there compared to the school they really want. [/quote]

I know [b]several[/b] who have ended up at a much lower ranked school because they shot their ED shot too high and then got boxed out of the good EA’s. It’s a common story. Kids who, in hindsight, should have just ED’d to UVA. It’s a known risk. [/quote]
You know several kids, their stats, round of application, where the ended up and the quality of each institution? Wow. Thats impressive. [/quote]

I don’t know their exact stats. I know their parents thought they should ED to Princeton or Duke and they ended up well below UVA. [/quote]
