[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD got into an Ivy ED this year.  Had 3 Bs freshman year during the start of the pandemic but straigtht As the rest of the way with high but not highest rigor.  ACT was slightly below mid 50% percent which she submitted.  Scored very high in English/Reading sub-section, but low science score dragged her score down but she's not going to be a STEM major so I don't think the low overall score mattered.  Goes to a top public high school.  I think she got accepted because she was a perfect fit for the school/major she applied for with exceptional essays stating a world problem she wants to help solve with supporting evidence from her ECs involving her local community, as well as exceptional recommendations from her teachers.  Unhooked, no national awards, no articles in local newspapers.[/quote]

Having ECs involving her local community that are related to what she hopes to work at once she graduates is much more appealing to colleges than the student who obviously hired a college counselor advising the student on what to do with their time.  [/quote]
