[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GPA and SAT get you in the door. Your ECs, essays, and recommendations determine the ceiling. Rice may like your EC1, Penn particularly loves EC2. This is where the independent factors come in. [/quote] Yup. And just to be super clear, [b][i]acceptance rates ≠ probability that your kid will or will not get in[/i]. Not at all.[/b] Still, those independent factors make it make sense to apply to a bunch of reaches and not just one, so long as the applicant more or less matches the profile of admitted students. (But not, like, the entire top 20. Bc if your kid has been rejected from 19 reaches, the 20th wasn't gonna go, either.) [/quote] SO TRUE! When the applicant is the right fit for the school, the probability could be much higher than the headline accpetance rate. For the right fit school, ED would help a lot because ED further elimintates the yield question.[/quote]
