[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It appears that it is harder to get into college than when we all applied. But what about for the very high stats kids?

Can some of you please share how it went for your child who went through the process if your kid was max rigor, 1550 plus, top grades, great but not national award winning extracurricular.

My child is having trouble finishing up their college lists and part of the reason is we really just have no idea how it will all go with the reach schools. We also don't know what school is "worth" taking your shot early. This child will be happiest with an intense, highly academic crowd.[/quote]

This was my kid (currently rising college sophomore).  1550 SAT, tons of APs.  I think 3 semester Bs, which is perhaps what killed her. Several interesting (to me) extracurriculars including president of a couple of smaller clubs). Internship.   Got interviews at several ivies and other top schools (probably about 9 interviews) but only reasonable admissions offer were UMD and William and Mary.  Rejected at Northeastern and Boston U, for instance.[/quote]
