Nope. There are "bottom 75%" who applied to non-Ivy, first choice schools and are getting in ED. They may not be schools that some consider "elite" (I am referring to the long thread in the College forum here) but they are those students first choices. Schools like Carnegie, Case-Western, Pitzer, etc.

Is Carnegie Mellon University considered "non-elite"? How difficult/easy to get into it from a Big 3 with regular decision?

Okay, but was spending money at Big3 helping them get in at the low tier schools or would they still have gotten in coming from a public?

Go back to the other thread ffs. No need to turn this into the exact same thing.

Huh?

NCS is sending 5 girls to Columbia (4 ED and one is an athletic recruit).

"Tons of kids" means "Tons minus 3 to 4 kids facing disappointing letter from Brown."

You all are so smug and tone deaf, it's remarkable.

I know of at least 8 kids in early to Yale—4 from Sidwell, 3 from GDS and 1 from Maret.

Tulane actually deferred an ED applicant from a Big 3. The sky is indeed falling.

+1

My senior was not admitted to their ED, but the stream of good news from their friends is really heartwarming.

ED results at Sidwell so far are great. Tons of kids waiting to hear today from Brown and other very top schools.

According to this OP, it’s Armageddon out there and nobody from Big3 is going to Ivy League schools.

I recall last year being riveted to the roller coaster story lines of Big 3 college placement. I think the ED round was a disaster causing much panic, ED 2 saw a promising uptick in admissions, and when all was said and done after RD and later wait list movement, the consensus was placement was better than ever. How is it going for the Class of 2022?
