[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check back on this board come March/April, when regular admits are announced. I think you'll find that students at schools such as NCS did absolutely fine. What you're witnessing here is a bunch of posts from a few handwringing parents who are upset that Larlo didn't get admitted to MIT EA/ED.[/quote]

I agree that it will be interesting to see how this all turns out but if you were paying attention you would know that we're not talking about MIT or the Ivies.
Less than 10% of the NCS ED apps were successful and many rejections were from schools ranked 50-150. THAT is why parents are concerned. [/quote]

I’m not sure your post makes sense. Why would NCS students be applying ED to schools ranked between 50-100? That sounds like bad college advising.
Maybe these were EA schools and not ED and in that case, maybe they were rejected because the schools felt that the NCS students would not attend so they were rejected because of yield protection. 
Perhaps NCS college advising is not particularly strong? Is that the case? If yes, then no big deal. Just hire a private college counselor.[/quote]
