[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what about Brandeis, NYU, Wesleyan?  [/quote]

My .02

Brandeis likely. [b]NYU and Wesleyan are a high reach. They're a high reach for everyone.[/b] [/quote]

No they're not. My (no FA) junior at a DC private with 3.9/1500 SAT was told that NYU is borderline safety and Wesleyan is a match.[/quote]
Oy.  NYU a borderline safety?  The high school counselor who said that must have a pretty weak definition of safety.  A safety should be a school where acceptance is certain, affordability is certain, and the student would want to attend.  With a 27% acceptance rate and a middle 50 percentiles of 1350 to 1530, admission is not sufficiently certain even for a 3.9/1500.  (For anyone needing financial aid, affordability is never certain, either, as NYU does not have the best reputation for financial aid.)  It could be a match.[/quote]

At our private, no full-pay kid with my DC's stats has ever been rejected from NYU.

You sound awfully entitled, but you better be careful counting your chickens before they hatch. College admissions is an ever changing landscape. Nothing is a sure bet until the letter is in your hand. [/quote]

I'm not "entitled," just stating what the counselor told us. But our kid has no interest in attending NYU so we'll never get to find out - sorry.[/quote]

NYU 2019 acceptance rate was 16%.  Your not at GDS or Cathedral schools because kids have been rejected.  Maybe you have in the last two years.  Maybe you have old data.  Good luck to you in the application process, it sounds like you might be surprised.[/quote]
