<p>Soo... the public school I attend is consistently ranked as one of the top public schools in the nation and the level of competition here is actually quite ridiculous so everybody was expecting the turnout rate for acceptances at the top tier would be phenomenal. Buttt... we got slaughtered EA/ED... what mean I? I mean:
5 Stanford -> 1 deferred
1 Penn -> deferred
1 Brown -> deferred
1 MIT -> deferred
1 CalTech -> rejected
3 Yale-> 1 accepted & 2 deferred
And there's probably a number of others who got rejected/deferred EA/ED that the whole nosy school (including me) does not know about. It makes me want to cry, as well as wonder if the kids who are getting in are truly more deserving than the academic/well-rounded gods at my school</p>
<p>So out of curiosity... how did your school do in the EA/ED round? How many people got into the top tier? How many got deffered? How many got rejected? How many even applied?</p>
<p>Yale 1 Accept 1 Defer 1 Defer/Reject (not sure)
Stanford 1 Accept 1 Defer 1 Reject
Georgetown 1 Defer I know of, might be more
Wash U 1 Accept 2 Defer
NU 1 Accept
Brown 1 Defer
I'd say i was a pretty good year for our school this year, this is probably one of the stronger classes we've had.</p>
<p>We actually did pretty well. We're a fine public school, though we have hardly any AP options, but we're near a college consortium so lots of students take classes at a local top-tier liberal arts college.</p>
<p>we'll see about other schools come RD. i'm not expecting anything amazing though... most of my class has UMD - College Park as their dream school.</p>
