[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flat out rejected. 1540 SAT, ~93.5 GPA on 14 honors (School doesn't have APs + I knew this was weakest part, but thought that maybe ED + other parts would make up), tons of leadership throughout the school, research assistant for prof. at ivy+, very strong letters of rec, essay that CC said was one of the strongest he's ever read, good interview, full pay male, and even would have been more than happy to be a Feb.

Sometimes it's just not meant to be  :cry: [/quote]

Holy crud! That must sting. It's not a rational process, I keep reminding myself of that.

Maybe the AO didn't understand the school doesn't have APs?

I suspect he will end up somewhere great eventually but lots of sympathy meanwhile.

It might be worth having a teacher or outside adult read over the app too just in case there's something in there that could be misinterpreted. You may have already done that, and the answer is probably that it's just irrational, but just in case.[/quote]

I'm sorry!!  There are lots of irrational things that happen. It could be that another kid applied ED from their school and [b]they had decided they could only take one[/b], it could be that the AO had an off day and was grumpy when reading the app. it could be something else entirely random.  Who knows. 
That said, I would also have someone read the app just to make sure the kid comes off sounding appealing and that there are no red flags.  Maybe something is phrased weirdly or looks dishonest (too good to be true). You never know with teenagers.

Good luck! I'm sure he'll have a lot of options down the road and in my experience the vast majority of kids land where they're meant to be. [/quote]

Could this actually happen?  I learnt that they don't cap by school.[/quote]

I don't know about Midd specifically, but I do know of situations where two kids from the same school have gotten into other top colleges. [/quote]
