[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone comment on accepted or denied EA students to Stanford?  What kinds of high schools and stats?[/quote]

I know of a local private school kid. Both parents went there and have made multi-millon dollar gifts. Smart kid, don't mean to diminish he accomplishments, but...[/quote]

Rejected...Our son has a 4.85/4.0 at a VA Governor's STEM School.  1550 SAT/ 35 ACT, 8 varsity letter's, captainship in one.  Has dedicated over 700 hours of community service to include youth advisory board of the largest youth volunteer organization in our area.  Club sports at the highest level and all of the other obligatory clubs...National, Spanish, Science and Math Honor Society as well as Special Olympics Committee.  Reality is these schools are a crapshoot, can't get mad if you don't make it.[/quote]

Yep. Thousands and thousands of non-hooked kids look just like this. Your DS is awesome, OP, and hope he didn’t have his heart set on it. He’ll do great wherever he goes.

Did PP say her kid was unhooked?[/quote]

Well most people don’t hide the hook in this anonymous forum that is trying to be informative/helpful, if they have one. That’s not cool.  Just an FYI, in case you’re new here. [/quote]
PP you are awesome. I need to drink some of what you have been sipping. You seem really balanced and calm. Good for you . And you are right. It's a crapshoot and don't take it personally- super hard for me and my kids bit I'm trying... You are a good role model.

Thanks for all the words of encouragement...no didn't expect a thing from Stanford, he clearly understood he was swinging for the fences, middle class white young man, no hook, full pay and in with many many other great young kids just like him.  He wanted to give it a shot, glad he did, now he'll have no regrets moving forward. [/quote][/quote]
