It sounds like sour grapes/copium, but I think DC's chosen school is a much better match than their ED school, and I think DC is more confident because DC had the opportunity to compare that school with others through admitted student weekends etc.

Anyhow, if your DC gets in ED, that's wonderful and will save you a lot of time and energy this spring! But, if not, don't fret and please don't feel the need to panic-apply in ED2!


Same. We panicked after deferral early.

Ended up in 15 out of 16 RD and at an Ivy. The early school deferral was lower ranked.

+1 BC and Georgetown too.

Like 12-22 admits

I have the kid waiting on a WASP - Swarthmore - which is, in fact, very much NOT White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

Ooh. That's a nice place to be in. A four year ROTC scholarship is like being a recruited athlete in a major sport. There's only about 600 students that get that scholarship. And this poster knows very well what it takes to get one. I would not worry too much. If the battalion commander is championing this app, it should work.

Questbrudge matches come out today for every school, and that is a ton for Emory, which typically takes a large number.

Would you mind sharing branch and gpa/sat? Trying to gauge we my kid stands. Thanks.

Navy, one of top students in class (straight A's plus 13 AP's) and 1540


Thanks, my kid is in the next rung (or two) down. Congrats!

Thank you and good luck!
