BTW Carroll has a separate admission from other parts of BC, with a lower acceptance rate.

How is the third decile the average?


See below. I meant “quintile” not “decile”

Sorry, I meant quintile, not decile.

Just to add that for the lowest quintile, the schools were: Elon, Kenyon, Oberlin, Penn State, Pitzer, Purdue, Reed, SMU, Gettysburg, Hobart Williams Smith, College of Charleston

Make sure you sign your kid up for a summer program right now so you can submit the application on July 1. You should hear back around Labor Day.

If it doesn’t work out, pivot to something else for ED1.

I don’t know what private that person’s kids attend, but neither BC nor Tufts would be where students at even Sidwell or GDS wind up who have not taken calculus and have SAT scores below 1500.


I agree that this poster is wildly optimistic. My DC has a 3.9/35 from a Big3 and was just waitlisted at BC last week. His friend with a 3.8+ was waitlisted at Tufts. ED at these schools is quite a bit easier but not at the 50%tile if there are no hooks and this is a Big3 school and these kids had calculus.


Take a look at Sidwell matriculation: https://www.sidwell.edu/academics/college-counseling/college-matriculation
There are only very few schools ranked lower than Rochester. You big fat liar.


You're a complete a$$. I'm not lying and you clearly have no understanding of the college process.
My kid was deferred from BC. He has another strong option. He also has received quite a few deferrals from schools at the BC level. If you look at the matriculation list next year you'll only see his strong matriculation. That doesn't negate his deferral from BC. :roll:


You can definitely get into BC unhooked without calc and a SAT below 1500. It’s not that competitive.


Acceptance rate was 16 percent LAST cycle. This might be possible for a legacy but not unhooked.


You’d be surprised. So long as the essay is legible you have a good chance.


Thank you for revealing yourself to be a troll.

Wake requires a 3.7 at our private and we have grade deflation. I don’t think it belongs on this list.


Depends on your school. That is definitely not the case at our private for Wake early decision.


You re likely at a big 3 or birding school, not the “average” private op said her kid attended,

C'mon. Anyone with full pay can get in SMU.
Cox requires good stats. But not SMU non business!--you are in as long as you pay in full.
