[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asian and white kids are doing exceptionally well this year. Particularly boys.[/quote]

My boy is doing okay so far. We'll see what the next few weeks bring. Will be happy when it's all over and a decision made.

What has surprised me? How long this process drags out from the REA/EAs of November 1 until March 27 to May 1. The acceptances and FA packages come out in drips and drabs.[/quote]

Oh god--yes! I have a 2024 year grad and I thought 'whew' once the applications were all finally turned in by Jan 1.  I could not have fathomed how looooonnnnngggg the process was going to drag out. We didn't apply for FA--but his RD acceptances were from mid-March up until March 30th...and then 1/2 were WL (at the T10/20s).  Then after he paid the deposit May 1---the WL acceptances started rolling in. There was so much agony and uncertainty of him trying to choose a school.  Roller coaster.  It wasn't until HS graduation early June that he decided where he was going.

I hope my 2026 is more clear cut on his choice. Right now--he has no favorite or remote clear runner. Kind of all over the map like older sib.[/quote]
