[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on acceptances and commitments this year at JR, it seems the popular schools are Penn State, UofCO Boulder, Tulane, Wisconsin, Oregon [/quote]

My kid had a 3.5 from a local very rigorous private, not with the most rigorous course load, and was rejected from Boulder and Wisconsin and WL at Penn State. I find it hard to believe that average kids from JR would get into Wisconsin.[/quote]

Wisconsin has an 18% OOS acceptance rate. Not easy but definitely not impossible and I would imagine more kids from JR are likely to accept an offer.[/quote]

Scrolling through the JR 2024 Insta I think I counted six kids who are headed to Madison this fall. And the Insta is a student volunteering the info kind of thing. So there are probably one or two more who haven't posted. [/quote]

Wisconsin is definitely hard now - though a lot of JR kids are going there.  [b]For some reason, Wisconsin likes JR while Michigan does not.[/b]  But, they are all top students with decent extracurriculars and often in an academy.  Kids with your child's grades are going to Penn State (very good school just big so lots of space), Pitt, U of Vermont, Temple, College of Charleston, U of Arizona, UMass, CU - though not a given - not any are going there but a big state school that is good as safety is also U of Minnesota.[/quote]

Are you kidding? There are at least six kids going to Michigan from JR (five on the instagram and at least one more that I know of). Same in the last few years; Michigan LOVES JR kids.[/quote]
