[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS with 3.82 (high rigor); 33 ACT and non-Stem /business /Econ major (true humanities major) with strong pointy related ECs.
Private selective non-DMV high school.

He’s finished with his RD apps. 
Deferred from both NU (ED) and Tulane (EA).

He’s got a bunch of decisions from large flagships coming in next month. Concerned he falls into that middle space and may get dinged everywhere else.

Thoughts on chances for these reaches:

Colgate
Bucknell
Middlebury
Wesleyan
Williams
Wake
Emory
Vanderbilt
Wash U
Rice 
Brown

Thoughts on chancing him?

Based on what I saw in the last 3 senior classes @ my DCs’ independent: Williams, Vanderbilt, Rice and Brown would be hard no. The rest might happen but longshots.

Friends’ daughter was dinged @ a T10, then deferred EA @ Tulane, so made a hard pivot to Emory/Wake/WashU for ED2 and admitted.

But who really knows. [b]Know a top stats kid rejected @ a T12 in ED1, then rejected at a T20 LAC in ED2, and accepted to an HYP in RD. [/b]

GL to your DC. [/quote]

Same…possible but don’t count on it.

Things are so crazily unpredictable these days though - nothing would surprise me.[/quote]
