[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]…where you have a current student and then there sibling with uw 4.0, 36 ACT and similar great ecs/recs/activities gets rejected. Having a hard time after seeing a kid with much lower stats get off  WL and in.  The holistic B’s is not an answer. Older sibling is also thriving and top of class- so it’s not that either.

It leaves such a sour taste in my mouth. [/quote]

OP we had something similar happen...except older kid is the one with the higher stats. Older kid got in and graduated. Younger kid had similar stats, but not quite as strong. Very different admission cycle (7 years apart), so have to consider that. Admission rate was 17% when DS got in, 9% when DD was rejected. It hurt, but we still love the school because DS had such a good experience there. [/quote]

Admission rate is the same - 2 years apart. Older one is a rising junior. We were told if a sibling is currently enrolled they often treat it like a twin when their stats are the same. [/quote]

5.5% both years, if not slightly easier this cycle [/quote]
