[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brown: Rejected UPen: accepted Harvard: accepted 4.6 GPA 11 APs all 5s 1540 SAT Great EC[/quote] These are the same stats as students rejected from Emery and Rice. Does it all boil down to ECs? Essays that catch someone’s eye? Recommendation letters? I don’t view it as a lottery but a very subjective process. (Although congratulations to your DC & hoping she has a wonderful college experience!)[/quote] I wrote above about my DS who was waitlisted at Harvard, Penn, and Brown. He has basically these same stats with a 1580 SAT. Also great ECs, and most likely great recommendations. Who knows what the difference was in the decision making at these schools, but to get into 2, I feel like there must be another hook. No sour grapes as he’ll be fine at UVA, but just posting stats like this isn’t the full picture. [/quote]
