[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP back.  I had no idea that this would be so controversial.  Welcome to the College Board, I guess.  I thought this info would be helpful to other newbies who are 1+ year out.

I did not mean to out anyone nor even the name of the high school, simply "Public" or "Private" and, if possible, MCPS, FCPS, APS, DCPS, Etc.

Happy to redevelop the survey and ask Jeff to delete and replace this thread.

College:
Result:
SAT/ACT Percentile or Score:
Legacy (Y/N):
URM (Y/N):
Aid or Full Pay:
Who guided you to this ED selection (I'm looking to see where the advice came from -- a HS guidance counselor, parent influence, senior's top choice, outside college counselor who had some strategy, etc):

Critique away and let's get it right and start a new thread.

It shouldn't be controversial--there are[b] thousands of kids in this area applying to many of the same schools[/b].  People here are paranoid and are clearly not familiar with CC.  On your survey, I'd note that you haven't included recruited athletes in the hooks section, and you'd need GPA for context.[/quote]

Nonsense. There are not "thousands" of kids from around here who applied to a certain SLAC that announced last week. And if I were to mention the URM status - the parents of the kid might well know who posted.the info, which is why I'm not going to do it.[/quote]

No one is going to make you post, and you certainly shouldn't do so if you don't want to for any reason.  That doesn't mean that others feel the same way, so there is no need to clamor for the thread to be deleted. Even if only white and Asian people with no hooks post, it's useful to others in the same boat.

With respect to the total numbers, there may not be thousands applying ED to a top SLAC, but there will be hundreds.  Naviance indicates that 8-12 kids apply to Pomona each year from my kid's high school alone.
