[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At $150k, kid would get substantial financial aid at a top Ivy if they can get in. Worth a flier, but far from a certainty.[/quote]

Essentially a very low chance for anyone…and even more so with those ECs and service hrs. At least IMO, it would be a throwaway. [/quote]

Agree the T25 not likely with that resume unless there is a hook.  What state are you in op?[/quote]
One where geographic diversity would help my kid and not hurt them at T50 type schools.

I wasn't sure how dime-a-dozen kids are who have NMSF, non-superscored one-and-done 36 ACT, nearly perfect grades, and a boatload of APs with mostly 5s.  Based on this forum, they must be really common.  My kid takes the SAT in a couple weeks.  I'm guessing that a 1550+ score will do nothing whatsoever to change the kid's profile.

Based on results we had this year, it's not quite as cut and dry as some of the PPs are making it out to be. My similar stats DC broke into the top 25 without a perfect narrative - more of a well-rounded kid than a super-spikey clear story. Top 10 apps were not successful, but that was not our be-all and end all  [/quote]
