[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The athlete gets the first offer. They know end of junior year and the Early application is a formality. They usually only need to apply to one school, unless it's MIT where they made be deferred or rejected because grades matter. The legacy gets a bump in Early decisions. They are usually the one who gets in over an equally or slightly more qualified peer. The academic superstars (who did not get in EA,ED,REA) get in RD. They usually get into more than one top school as was the case this year. [/quote] This sounds right. What’s the difference in GPA between the ‘academic superstar’ and the legacy who gets in early[/quote] It seems to be about 0.1 difference max. There are enough legacies floating around these schools that some of them will be near the top of the class (I.e if there are 10 Harvard legacies, Harvard will take the two strongest.) [/quote]
