[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK. Let's say a kid with 1600 and 4.0 applies to Syracuse or some other non-TT school and demonstrates interest (visits campus, clicks on e-mails, etc.). Then that kid should get in, even though they are theoretically over-qualified?

I am new to this process and trying to figure it out. Remembering how I basically wrote a check and hit a button on the Common App 30+ years ago and was accepted to a very elite school that I had shown no interest in. And did not attend, though if a few of the schools I did get into had fallen through, I legitimately would have investigated it more seriously and considered it over my safeties.[/quote]

Theoretically, yes they should.  And if Syracuse (or some other school like that) is truly your kid's top choice, then you ED, and if not willing to do that, you speak with admission counselor and make it about finances and needing the best offer and do everything possible to show major interest (visit, keep in contact with admissions, do whatever they suggest to show full interest).  Because yes, it's highly unlikely a kid with those stats really wants to attend Syracuse.  So don't be mad at Syracuse for figuring that out and choosing to offer spaces in their class to kids who actually will attend
