[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My older one was a recruited athlete with much lower grades so we are in different territory with my younger son's who is a junior with:  4.0, SAT 1510, a few strong activities & leadership roles within common clubs found in his public school but no app or national awards or huge spike. Full pay.  Undecided but probably economics & history. Lot's of AP's with 4s and 5s, part time job. Wants to ED at Vanderbilt (like the rest of his class). Seems like a very typical public school profile. Is this a wasted ED?[/quote]

Sure, mine got into five T20 unhooked, three of them were T10/ivy. But they had a much better resume and were top of the class in every way. 
1510 is a little low for T10/ivy unhooked but for T20 it is within range. 
The key is the course work, what are the classes with that 4.0, and where does the weighted GPA fall compared to the high school. What are AP scores. Are there hard courses your student has avoided. Do the teachers think your son is one of the best in class.
And does that high school send students to T20 unhooked and how does yours compare to prior admits. 
Those are the factors that will matter.[/quote]
