[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BC is a relatively easy ED admit for the median applicant.  Your child exceeds the average.  I would make discrete inquiry into your LOR and see if a pivot is in order.[/quote]

Wrong. It is not easy for ED or any admit. You have no idea what you are talking about.

My kid also has great stats and all of the checks ie: social, involved, school leadership, athletic, Catholic etc... and was deferred while a few from their school were admitted that are not very involved in the school but definitely cross off the diversity box - not sure if they are even Catholic. Disappointing on so many levels. [/quote]

BC is NOT an easy admit for anyone.

Wishing your deferred DC has success in RD.

Note that it is very common for colleges to accept kids who are academically qualified over students with higher rigor/stats/EC when cultivating a class.  Especially from strong private schools where they can be confident that the students they accepted will be able to thrive in college.  Admissions isn't a "best stats wins" race - schools have goals and if they see qualified students who fit the bill of a student they want - they will take them over the many other "better stats" kids that applied.
