[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A very high percentage of students going to T20 universities get in during the ED/SCEA round. If an applicant doesn't get in during this stage, where they end up is largely a matter of luck. The Regular Decision acceptance rate for elite schools is abysmally low. So more often than not, the state flagship is the likely outcome for Ivy rejects. Students that want to go to Ivy League universities generally do not want to go to SLACs. State flagships, particularly honors programs with merit, are the logical fallback schools.

And the people listing Notre Dame, WashU, OOS Michigan, Emory and similar as some kind of back-up for those rejected from Columbia and Brown are wildly out of touch with the reality of college admissions today. [/quote]

Depends on the region of the country and the high schools I suppose. There are the rare unhooked kids who get into multiple ivy/T10 in RD(one this year from the top public, one last yr from the top private) and there are about a dozen from our area each of the last 3 years who applied but did not get into any ivy/T10 but are going to WashU, Amherst, ND, Vanderbilt, OOS unc-ch, Ucla, Emory, Berkeley and more. Others end up instate UVA as Echols or Rodman scholars. It happens all the time. [/quote]

My unhooked kid got into two Ivies and 2 T10s  RD. You don’t know about this because people only list the school they are attending - not all of their acceptances. I guarantee there are many more in this area that did too. Not at the “top” private either. [/quote]

I doubt we are in the same area of VA 😉
