[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]…where you have a current student and then there sibling with uw 4.0, 36 ACT and similar great ecs/recs/activities gets rejected. Having a hard time after seeing a kid with much lower stats get off  WL and in.  The holistic B’s is not an answer. Older sibling is also thriving and top of class- so it’s not that either.

It leaves such a sour taste in my mouth. [/quote]

Why would you think the sibling deserved to get in just b/c the older sibling was there?[/quote]

Because  current siblings and ED used to be an almost certain admit if they were equally qualified (but not if sib had already graduated). They used to be treated like “twins” in admissions. Older sib has so many friends with a sib there.[/quote]

In which case they didn't see the younger sib as "equally qualified."  But I have never heard of this "twin" treatment and I'm very familiar with selective admissions.  Sounds more like a rumor than an actual policy.  [/quote]
