[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duke will take kids w 3.9 from our feeder if ED. Impossible outside ED

Vandy will take kids w 3.8 if ED. Impossible outside ED

UChicago will take kids with 3.7 and full pay ED.

ND and Georgetown will go to 3.75/3.8 RD but it's basically a straight GPA/SAT cut off on Naviance.  BC too.

Dartmouth takes nobody.

HYP all will dip into the high 3.8s for legit interesting kids (I think they rely on LORs from our school from counselor). The quesbridge and athetlic recruits are off the chart (3.6ish)[/quote]

Judging from the above, there is really no point for the near-perfect GPA kids to SCEA and giving up on the ED chances.  How about MIT EA?[/quote]

Or you can look at it the opposite way. (I'm the previous poster) My own unhooked (other than feeder, which is a hook) kid did SCEA to HYP and was admitted early. If the dream isn't duke, Vandy, Chicago .. (and others?)  you dont have to ED from our school. If those are your dream, ED .. they have room for less than perfect kids during ED. Otherwise just EA all around, SCEA if you feel like it. I bet 70% of the kids from our HS doesn't find out til RD. [/quote]
