[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]do you not have naviance scattergrams?  There's really no way for people on this board to guess at chances.  My feeling is that Dartmouth is the easiest of the three.  But it's a gut feeling.  (I think Duke is hardest.)

naviance doesn't have much data since it's a small school. There has been no acceptances at Dartmouth RD. Not sure if that is because they dislike our school or that they have already admitted legacies  and are done admitting from our school. [/quote]

That’s bizarre that you would think that they “dislike” your school rather than jumping to the more obvious conclusion that your tiny private didn’t produce competitive candidates for a highly competitive university.  [/quote]

Some colleges just don't like certain high schools. Back in my day I remember my competitive public high school had some admissions patterns that made absolutely no sense and no one would get into certain schools - if I recall Amherst hated us - kids would get into Williams, Harvard, Yale but rejected by Amherst. Very odd.[/quote]

It’s Princeton at our HS. Do well with HYSM, just never Princeton. Unfortunately, my kid didn’t know that until junior year when the HS counselor told him. He was WL RD. He’s at one of the others (got into 2 of them RD).[/quote]
