[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for kids with similar stats in last couple of years and where they got accepted and rejected.

33/34 ACT
3.9 GPA (private does not weight)
very good ECs
no major national awards, not curing cancer or starting a non profit

interested in where similar kids got in without hooks

thanks[/quote]The essay carries tremendous weight and can make a difference between two identical apps, scores, etc.  In 2017, DC applied EA to a prestigious union-Ivy university and ED to an Ivy.  DC chose the Ivy before knowing the EA decision so to withdraw the application.  After regular admissions were concluded, the HS counselor confided that DC was also accepted to the EA university, and the essay was outstanding.  The university followed up with the counselor why DC had withdrawn the application.

In all honesty, DC's essay really was very good and read post-decision by a PhD in English friend who loved it.  Very creative and imaginative essay drawing on experiences with one of the ECs.

I would suggest your DC put serious effort into the essay.  You've already got the scores and GPA.[/quote]
