[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]State flagships (UMich, UVa, UNC more difficult but possible), small liberal arts colleges, for Ivy's don't waste an REA at HYP with no hooks, no spikes, it just will not happen even with top SATs and top GPA/rigor. Could try RD at the other Ivy's or Duke, Chicago but it will only increase your chances, not make it likely.  [/quote]

Can high stats no hook works for WASP (ED) and Cal/UCLA (full pay OOS)?[/quote]

WASP, yes, and maybe even RD. I don't know about California schools, but they are test blind. [/quote]

No, very poor advice.[/quote]

PP here, my non pointy but very high stats DC applied to 3 of wasp RD, results were 1 yes, 1 WL, 1 no. May commit, still deciding, so mad respect. But yes, I agree, if you have your heart set on a SLAC and have the means, absolutely apply early. Even with very high stats, ED doesn't make it a guarantee, this whole thing is a bit of a crapshoot, my Dc's results no doubt included some luck. But I dont think OP is in the zone of Emory ED, unless that's the top choice, in which case by all means.[/quote]
