[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i interview for a reasonably competitive college. i was very impressed with and tried to write really nice recommendations for most of the students this year. most of my interviewees were either denied or waitlisted. there are a very large number of talented students applying nationally. [/quote] My kid got a rave review from a HYP interviewer, who told my kid what she was going to recommend my kid highly. She was really impressed with my kid, who did not get in. I think my kid is a typical high-achieving kid, great grades, test scores, ordinary ECs, nothing really making my kid stand out from all the other exceptional kids. Being smart isn't good enough for HYP these days. DC is going to a match, got accepted to 9 schools and rejected by three reaches. Surprised me a lot, but this year was tough for "ordinary" smart kids. [/quote]
