Don’t you think this is a self-selecting group? Ppl here apply early/organized.

It can’t be that only FG and URM are admitted in RD when that’s all we saw admitted to certain private schools in ED….

Almost the opposite at our DC private. The only kids who got in ED were arm/first gen/reasonable stats.

Where did your kid apply EA/ED?
Public or private HS?
Major?


Don't want to out them any more. Public HS, not engineering or a major from a school that requires a special application.

This is so eye opening but doesn’t really correspond to the stories on Reddit or CC….

His good friend got into Rice RD and his resume is amazing plus but he lives in NC so not sure his stats are relevant to DC area folks.


That’s good news

What? How can that even be?

It depends.

Think there are more options/depth for RD at schools like Emory; WashU; Rice than at other schools (Penn; Northwestern; Cornell).

This year though, the jury is out. It’s unclear how it plays.

What type of candidates get into these schools firing RD? In your experience over the last 2 cycles?

Any specific examples (schools/stats)? Are they all “top 3 in class” type of kids which is what I’m gathering?
