[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD applying ED to non-HYP Ivy. I’d classify her as “average excellent” with an artsy/interesting streak. Top line info:
-Double legacy
-4.1 uw at good public in Northeast
-10 APs by end of senior year (others all honors)
-Most likely NMSF
-34 ACT (took 2X, doesn’t want to take again)
-Junior Book Award (from the school she’s applying to but obv that has nothing to do w them)
-Scholastic Gold Key in Art
-Award for best in drawing in our state
-Painting award, 1st place (county level)
-Ntnl Art Honor Society pres
-School musical and plays all four years (no leads)
-Newspaper (staff writer, 4 years; social media editor, 3 years; layout editor, 2 years)
-School of Rock (guitar and vocals, 2 years)
-Key Club (4 years) with varied projects - she genuinely enjoys volunteering
-Schoolhouse SAT tutor
-Ambassador for creative writing and literature summer program

Reading about the nonprofit founders and scientific research kids, I feel like mine has no shot. Any input?

She should apply to a mix of schools along with the Ivy and see what happens.

She’ll be a great applicant, but not one who helps with any kind of diversity, has a national award or seems like an obvious subject of a newspaper feature article. And the admissions will see that she has other options. They don’t have to admit her to save her.

Maybe she’ll have about a 15 percent chance of getting in at the Ivy. So, there aren’t any guarantees, but she’ll be a good applicant who has a much better than average chance of getting in. She just needs to have some other pots on the fire.[/quote]
