The observations in this thread about high stats plus are interesting to me, and seem to be the case at my daughter’s school.
So where are the high stats very bright students (not plus, just normal ECs) getting in? Would love to read your observations.
In my neck of the woods (SE), it seems to be Vanderbilt (must have superb test scores), WUSTL, Northwestern, the occasional top LAC if ED, sometimes RD, Dartmouth, UVA, Georgetown, Emory, UNC Chapel Hill.
