4.0, 12 APs, tons of deep ECs including prize-winning research. Humanities major.
Will post back later and let you know.

And?

I posted above - Yale and Columbia - accepting Yale. DC absolutely cleaned up this season.

Congrats to your daughter! Although I hope she’s a bit more modest than you come across as. She’ll have a much better time

Congratulations!

My child is a legacy and she is not white. The classes from the 1990s have HS-aged kids now. And a huge number of us are not white and/or married people who are not white and so our kids are non-white legacies (or double, in my case). The idea that legacy status preserves white privilege is something that is being used to pull the rug out from under non-white legacies of this generation of applicants.

Anyway, yay for all of these new admits! Welcome!

Legacy status matters more than major. 12% of Yale students are legacies (white affirmative action).

Can people say whether their kids had a college sport as part of their application mix?

Congrats to all the great admits! And condolences to those who weren’t but also best wishes for a GREAT experience for your child wherever they wind up going!

That's a stretch.

Stop hating.

No one’s entitled to a spot at any of these schools

This makes sense, because the stats I'm seeing are shocking me. These students were rejected by most of the schools that came out yesterday.
