Tough year for admissions isn't it

<p>1/1 Harvard
1/2 Penn Wharton, the other deferred
1/2 UChicago, other deferred
0/1 Yale, deferred
0/2 Stanford, both rejected
1/1 Bryn Mawr</p>

<p>A large majority of our smart kids are applying regular, don't know why... Regular round schools include Penn, Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton, Georgetown, Cornell, JHU, Duke, UC, Vanderbilt, Stanford and Yale.
I'm pretty sure people will get into some of these schools, but a lot of people have really high scores this year. We'll see.</p>

<p>My school is pretty sad. This ED year is supposedly one of the best ones.</p>

<p>2/2 Hopkins
1/1 Notre Dame
1/1 Boston College
0/1 Cornell</p>

<p>That's it. No one else applied early to a top-tier school. This is coming from a class of 233 by the way.</p>

<p>In regards to the Cornell one, I have no idea what happened. Our candidate was a double legacy, her uncle works there, and she is a great student. Top 10% of the class, SAT's in Cornell's range, and everything. I'm assuming her deferral had to do with her essays and rec letters. She doesn't know any teachers very well, so I don't think that component was all too stellar.</p>

<p>Our class has done really well, but that was expected given our unusual strength. (class of ~300, public)</p>

<p>3/4 harvard
3/4 brown
4/8 penn (1 wharton, 1 seas)
1/3 princeton
3/8 yale
2/3 cornell
1/1 dartmouth
2/3 columbia
1/3 georgetowne</p>

<p>From where do you all obtain this information?</p>

<p>word of mouth</p>

<p>is there anyway to find out exact number deferred, rejected, and accepted from Stanford? just curious</p>

<p>wow, pennbrat!</p>

<p>From the crowd I know, tons got REJECTED by Upenn. But 3 people that I personally know got into stanford... but 2 of them were recruited athletes.....</p>

<p>our school had 16 upenn acceptances last year (i believe 21 applied)</p>

<p>we are a feeder for them. 6 were accepted ED this year, 1 denied</p>

<p>how exactly do you become a feeder school?</p>

<p>We had none in stanford (2 defer, 2 reject), 1 to Harvard (1 defer), 2 to mit (2 more deferred), 1 to penn (1 defer 2 reject), 1 to yale (1 defer), none to columbia (2 defer), and none to princeton (1 defer).</p>

<p>Zhang we are relatively close to it and consistantly have students accepted every year; I would guess that now when admissions sees our school name they know the student can handle the work.</p>

<p>well my school sucks</p>

<p>we got 1 accepted at harvey mudd
1 deferred form princeton
1 deferred from rice (thats me)
2 rejected from Stanford</p>

<p>we had 5 or 6 ppl get into stanford, 1 for swimming
and then like 20 something rejected lol</p>

<p>16 acceptances?! holy crap...</p>

<p>people like glittergal are only looking at their numbers. do we know anything about their essays and personal qualities?</p>

<p>that's why id never apply early to my dream school.</p>

<p>1/1 Yale(he was number one crew recruit on the coach's list)
0/1 Columbia (deferred)
0/2 MIT (deferred)
1/1 Stanford (accepted)
1/1 rice(accepted, early decision)
15?/? UVA(a lot of people got in just too many to determine the exact number
5?/William and Mary (strangely not many applied to W&M and thus not many admits)</p>
