Expecting an acceptance at Yale TBH. DD has been accepted at every single school so far including five T10s/OOS schools that are almost impossible. And the interview couldn't have gone better.
4.0, 12 APs, tons of deep ECs including prize-winning research. Humanities major.
Will post back later and let you know.

He also had a pre-read with the heavyweight rowing coach. (preferred walk on). The AO who read his application said he passed with "flying colors."

I am STILL expecting a rejection because my older son was rejected with almost the exact same stats. LOL.


And it’s even harder this year 🙃


Exactly! We are prepared.

Agreed. My daughter has perfect stats (4.0/1600) and didn’t even get an interview from Yale.


Same last year. You don’t want to see stats, it’s just a threshold to continue through the door. But to get an actual seat at the table will come from everything else. Institutional priorities you’ll never know. Some win, some don’t. Seeing lower stats win makes you feel worse even knowing this.
