Such a bummer. Wondering were there that many applying from this area? Or, should we worry about a rec?

Seems they cut over 50% this year, took fewer and deferred much fewer. Knocked the wind out of kid's sails a bit. Did not expect an admit, but thought they'd at least get deferred.


Sounds like a great kid. They will get in somewhere that will be great.

I think you mean which high school
I'd rather not say.



Full scholarship for a 1500 SAT? Doubtful unless we're talking about an athlete.


It's financial aid. Yale does not give merit aid so SAT score does not play any part in financial help

Congrats - did you get aid info immediately? I thought that came separately.

Public school, right?


Yeah. Not legacy either. We're just boring middle class.

All FA is need based, so stats wouldn't figure into it.
