[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No advantage EA at Georgetown.  UChicago has the best Econ program hands down.  Ed1 at UChicago.  The rest, no need for ED2, I would just RD them all and decide on which one based on acceptance.[/quote]
This may be the worst strategy possible. These are all reaches and OP's stats are mediocre for the colleges they're interested in.[/quote]

Are you kidding? Mediocre?

I don’t see obvious weakness in his stats.[/quote]
I didn't say he was weak, just not remarkable, especially for admission to top colleges in the US. Your strategy is gonna get this kid steamrolled.[/quote]
+1, I'm a bit shocked by how optimistic everyone else is. He has okay stats.[/quote]

+1. There is an element of chance to all of this, but this profile could definitely be rejected from all of these. Especially a kid from DMV private school. Mine had stats similar to this. Better SAT, better GPA, team captain etc. In at ND EA (from a Catholic HS), rejected at others on this list.

Nephew was rejected at UChicago with 1600 SAT.

Maybe he will get in, maybe he won’t. But he should also have other options in mind.

When we visited WashU the focus seemed heavily weighted toward IT/comp sci but that could have been a function of the guides.
