I’ve instinctively learned to just click off a thread if an lac is mentioned. The thing about stats post is that they’re always all over the place, and high-stat rejections have conspiratorial-level ideas as to why they couldn’t have been accepted by highly rejective institutions.


Yeah, like "yield protection." 🤣

How about there are tens of thousands of kids with similar/better stats vying for limited spots?

No outside ECs, but lots of time spent coding.

GMU -- $2k/yr merit.

There you go, last PP. You wanted some other data points.

I would love to see some stats from schools that are not so incredibly difficult to get into. Where are all the kids that don’t have 4.0s?

DC is now hoping for Princeton, Berkeley, or Uchicago.

DC was rejected last year from Williams ED. Ranked #2 in class, 35 Act, 13 APs, great ECs although not quite at a national level. Williams is extremely tough ED. The good news is that DC got into a couple Ivies, an Ivy+, and a couple WASPs in RD. Admissions are pretty unpredictable at that level but it usually works out in the end.


No non-recruited athlete should ever apply ED to Williams. The numbers are the numbers and ED exists at Williams for recruited athletes.

Congrats to all reporting admits! Ignore the naysayers and bickerers.

For those who rejected, you have amazing stats and hope the best for you RD

I think all those 5s on the AP exams more than compensated for a “missing” point on the ACT.
