[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2025 parent here. What I am noticing among DC's friends is kids getting into everything or nothing. There are a handful of superstars in the grade, pretty widely known (small school). And even among that cohort, it's pretty clear that some kids are just hitting the mark with AOs. One girl we know has (so far) gotten into UM, UVA, Vandy, Emory, USC, and Hopkins. I predict she'll get into 3+ Ivies. And then similarly qualified kids have been rejected everywhere.

My DC got accepted to all of HYPSM, so I guess they are in this category. DC had very high stats, awards, ECs, published research (in legit journals, but as second author). But it believe it's the essays where students can shine and let their real personalities show. [/quote]

Male or female? Major? Public or private HS?
Where did they enroll?[/quote]

Public hs, STEM major. Not comfortable sharing more on public forum.[/quote]
