[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]- 1530 SAT
- 3.97 UW GPA
- Around 10 APs
- Decent ECs with some leadership
- Applied to College of Business
- A sibling is a freshman there, and they even sent us a letter that the kid will be considered as a legacy.
(We thought it's a good sign)

Deferred and shocked

I think they have some sort of sophisticated formula and algorithm.[/quote]

This is kind of stunning.  I suspect that your kid will get in eventually, but I'm pretty surprised s/he didn't get in during the first round.  Profile presented above is very similar to my kids, who was admitted to the College of Business in the Honors Program with an excellent merit aid award.[/quote]

According to some posts on College Confidential, they had 50,000 EA applications, which is stunning.  They simply have to defer a ton of kids to RD given these circumstances, given the over-enrollment of this year's freshman class so that they can do a better job assessing overall yield once the ED2 round is done in February (at which time they will know both their own available slots and how many of the EA have been accepted ED2 elsewhere and, therefore, have pulled their NEU applications).
