How would a kid know if they will get into even 1 of the top schools? In this crazy admissions climate, nothing is certain even for the tippy top kids. Who knows the kid’s situation. Maybe they need financial aid and want to compare aid awards. Maybe the kid got deferred from REA or didn’t apply REA at all for whatever reason. Congrats to that kid. Enviable position to be in for sure.

That kid took away spots from other TJ students.

Last I heard was 3

It's impressive, of course, but it sounds like $$$$ in application fees. Good to have choices, but now he or she will have to compare offers and other factors. Presumably, one is a "dream school" for this person. I had a choice between Harvard and Yale and chose Harvard because of better financial aid and its location. With Stanford in the mix, the campus, lifestyle, and weather would come into play.

You are the reason trump won.

Trump won because the idiotic racists believed his lies.

It was because people like you chased moderate and independent voters away. Not everyone that disagrees with you on any one thing is a Nazi or racist or fascist.

Anyone knows the stats for other T20 schools for TJ?

Some of those top students didn't get admitted.

Admitted to TJ that is.

MIT is woking up at the wrong time

It's above average.

Is it? I'm a current parent and am totally unimpressed with their counselors

There many not be many this year as MIT is diversifying the number of schools it admits from.

Sounds like an unknowable answer, since it depends on the voluntary release of information.

There has been a sea change in MIT admissions this year. Many of the top high schools from which MIT used to admit, had a dramatically different admissions results this year. Almost singularly, girls from these top high schools were disproportionately admitted. There must be something they are trying to balance. We just dont know.
