[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our non-DMV private, this kid would:
ED to Vanderbilt (if it is in fact school leadership - like president)....shoe in

Agree on ND. That works for our HS too. Otherwise, add in: Cornell, WashU (ED2), Rice, UChicago (ED3) all work for us.

Add in Wake and a RD Stanford (sometimes we see our strong test scores, lower grade true humanities kids get in RD but need some sort of exceptional humanitarian/social impact/activism EC)[/quote]
I don't understand.  How is this good advice?  If he "shoe in" Vandy then it's the end of the story why are you still talking about other schools?
Unless Vandy is his dream school, ED there makes sense.  Absent a dream school, you need another strategy maximizing out.[/quote]

Bc Vandy defers and admits in RD a lot of private school boys. Its just what they do.
So you need a longer-term RD plan.[/quote]

I agree that Vandy likes leadership, as does Wake Forest (and they also value debate), but I would not say this kid is a shoo in at Vandy given it’s super low acceptance rate.

All school president has seems to not move the needle as much in post covid admission times from our private .   I actually think the debate might be a more meaningful activity -  in addition to Wake, Georgetown and Emory really like debaters.[/quote]
