[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you imbeciles constantly post how many applicants a college receives?  The quality of those applicants is the relevant statistic.[/quote]

Okay. Let’s talk quality in the DMV.  My TJ kid with a mix of As and Bs in core classes (4.05W).  Nothing below a B, except a B- in Chemistry (not a strong suit) and C+ in a semester math class freshman year.   Upward trend in grades.  Also male. Also a nice kid. Also strong (nonacademic) ECs.   1520 (749/780) SAT, 3 subject tests in Math 2, physics and Lit, all 740 or over (Math is an 800j.

My kid was deferred by Case Western and we expect a deferral by Northeastern in a couple weeks. Probably stands a 50/50 shot at both in the RD pool. Stronger for Case because they have a great program in his area of senior research that he want to continue and good demonstrated interest so he’s an actual good fit.  In at Pitt with some merit and a 25-50 SLACs with great merit.  Is most interested in RD schools, so we are waiting.  One is WM where he stands a great chance with demonstrated interest and the “boy bump”.    Is not competitive for UNC. [/quote]

But big 3 B students still go every year to UNC. You picked the TJ pressure cooker that kills smart kids chances that are not in the top 10%. Choices. [/quote]
