Are These Ivy Results Typical?

Seems typical to me. Your school sounds just like my kids’ school, except ours is bigger. We had three white boys and one Hispanic boy get into Ivies ED. One girl got into MIT, RD; a Hispanic girl got into an Ivy, RD. Nearly forgot, one girl recruited in 10th to U Penn.

The school Val, an Asian girl, didn’t get into any Ivies, but did get into some super selective LACs. She is happy. She was realistic about her chances and applied well. All of the kids with great grades and test scores, apart from the ED kids, didn’t get into Ivies RD. Seems like so far, the kids have got good accpetances under their belts. Our school has pretty good counselors, they tell the kids to apply to a range.

I very much get the sense, from the texting grapevine via my kid, that no one seems to be freaking out or in despair about getting denied. The kids have a facebook page, and when someone says “going to Podunk U!!!” all the other kids are full of congrats and thumbs up. Nice kids in our district.
