These are all legit targets or moderately reachy schools. [/quote]

I cannot imagine a full pay male with SATs north of 1450 having the least but of trouble getting into any of these schools ED.[/quote]

Then you do not get out much. [/quote]

Again let’s get real. Only 26 pct of Dickinson reported scores (ACT or SAT). The high end of the SAT range was 1413. A 1450 would make a student one of the highest scoring kids on campus. A school like Dickinson is desperate for full pay students and desperate for men. If a 1450+ full pay male applied ED with a reasonably strong transcript and no red flags, they would uncork the champagne.

I posted just a bit ago. My comment was directed at the original list, not the subsequent suggestions. Don't think Dickinson didn't show up until some pages into this thread.[/quote]

I think the bottom line is at the very reputable lacs, if you are unhooked you need almost perfect academics (high scores, really strong transcript) to have a shot. But imperfection starts to become ok as you get down the list into the 20-40 range. [/quote]

This has been fairly clear for now four admission cycles. Caught some offguard for the HS '21 class - there was a ton of course correcting at our DCs' independent starting with HS '22 class, including one of our DCs. There were some hiccups, but mainly worked out in spring '22. If anything, the girls in the class tended to have more messy times. The subsequent classes have been even more smooth. It's not perfect or always successful, but most parents and students seem to grasp that there are a lot of reaches here unlike 5+ years ago.[/quote]
