[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading through the northwestern thread where multiple people said no one gets in…I’m just not sure where to encourage my kid to look.  What would you all suggest for a [b]white female, good public school, 3.95 UW with high rigor, 1550 SAT, several extracurriculars including leadership roles, volunteerism and awards [/b]— but nothing knock your socks off like those famous awards or started a non-profit or wrote a published book or whatever.

I’m assuming Harvard, Yale, Princeton and places like Amherst are unrealistic.  What would be realistic?  Kid does not want to go to the Sputh and isn’t super interested in California so we are primarily looking Northeast, mid Atlantic, or upper Midwest.

Thanks for any ideas.[/quote]

I didn't read the other thread. But this describes my DD's friend who got in from a Tysons Corner (Vienna/Falls Church) HS in 2020. OF course this is just 1 person I know of personally. She applied ED to their music program.[/quote]

That's a highly selective program and she got in for her music performance skills, that is what matters most for that major.  DOn't kid yourself, that is a hard thing to do as there are ONLY ~100-120 freshman music majors and those are split accordingly over the spaces in the various instrumental studios (Ie flute has 2 spots, violins have 10, etc).  So if you are #3 flute in auditions, you wont get accepted as a music major as there is no space.[/quote]
