[quote=Anonymous]My kid with highest academic rigor, excellent grades and average ECs applied ED to an Ivy. He was rejected. His classmate with high (not highest) academic rigor, great grades (lower GPA) but better ECs applied RD to same Ivy. He was accepted. Both are Asian males, class of 2025. Yes, I don't know what the essays or LORs said. Anecdotally, ED may not have been the way to go in my kid's case. This Ivy is one of 2 that accepts a higher number of students from their HS each year. Both are attending state flagship. My kid was accepted to an honors program, but classmate was not. Interestingly my kid said if he had been on the WL at Ivy and accepted this summer, he would have still chosen state flagship.[/quote]
