[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It appears that it is harder to get into college than when we all applied. But what about for the very high stats kids?

Can some of you please share how it went for your child who went through the process if your kid was max rigor, 1550 plus, top grades, great but not national award winning extracurricular.

My child is having trouble finishing up their college lists and part of the reason is we really just have no idea how it will all go with the reach schools. We also don't know what school is "worth" taking your shot early. This child will be happiest with an intense, highly academic crowd.[/quote]

Top public magnet school
URM
1530 SAT (one try, no prep -- didn't need/want to take it again)
4.3 GPA
16 APs (5s on all)
NMF
National level prestigious internship
Usual volunteering, job, etc., a few regional awards

Reach:
Vanderbilt - Accepter regular decision ($6k total merit for NMF)

Target:
UT Austin (in-state, not top %5 auto admit) - Accepted, no merit
University of Georgia - Accepted, early action, $10k-ish merit 
USC (Southern California) - WL, then denied

Safety, accepted to all:
Alabama -- Full ride
Auburn -- Top merit (1/2 off out of state tuition ... $17k/yr)
Arkansas -- Full Tuition scholarship
Miami Ohio -- can't recall initial merit offer, but remember they called us closer to May and offered more scholarship money
University of Oklahoma - Full Tuition Scholarship plus some additional $ for NMF
