[quote=Anonymous][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]

^ oh and now I am surprised at how lightning fast the first year of college has gone by. He will be done May 10th.  It feels like we were just doing the Senior HS year stuff-went much faster than any single HS year.[/quote]
