[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]going back to the question, look at your naviance

Brown and Swat love our HS. As long as you have a 3.85, you're good. ED is better at Brown.

Dartmouth takes zero kids unless an athletic recruit We've had multiple get into HYPSM and rejected from Dartmouth over the last 5 years. I think they favor high schools over others more than any other college (except for many Chicago).

Williams takes just the top. ED not a help

Pomona took no one, then they took a couple, now they take plenty. According to college counselor at the high school: they didnt know us or how to read our transcript, and now they do.

Amherst not too hard, but they like a story[/quote]

In our ENTIRE county last year, public schools only got 1 kid in at Brown, 1 Dartmouth, 0 Princeton, 4 Harvard (athletes), 1 Yale, 2 Penn, 7 Cornell, 3 MIT, 2 Duke, 1 Caltech, 3 Hopkins, 4 Chicago, 2 NW, 1 Stanford.

Think about that, close to 2,000 Seniors.

It's why the arguments on this Board are so insane. Your kid is not getting in, so putting down these schools and the kids that do is completely ludicrous.[/quote]

I'm the PP and this is why it depends on high school. Which is what I said. Our high school has a graduating class of under 200 and we had kids admitted to every single one of those schools (minus Dartmouth). Private, feeder obv. But I dont know where OP's kid is[/quote]

Agree. But as the other op noted, you can see why there are moms in hearing tearing down schools and kids that their kids don’t stand a chance at given the numbers that poster showed. [/quote]
