DD got flat rejected. I expected a deferral, frankly. 4.0 UW all advanced/AP classes at NJ public. 1550 and 35 (one and done on both), all 5s on APs. Strong but not exceptional XCs and essays. Oh well. Their loss.

VIP as in the parent made it up and can’t cope that their kid didn’t get in.

One of the NCS girls is, as the previous poster said, daughter of a VIP and very hooked. Visited Dartmouth this fall and stayed with another VIP’s kid from another DC prep school. The other is an athlete.

Major bump meaning no way would get in otherwise?

Dartmouth in the ED round is not accessible for 98 percent of bright unhooked students in the DC area. It's a very small school that is very particular about where they take their students from. And it's not unhooked students from either the suburban schools or the privates here - by and large.


High test scores
