So DD, w outstanding grades (never below an A) test scores (98%), leadership (class pres 2 Yrs. Etc) , arts, athletics was wait listed at Andover…application was last minute and a few days late. I did some calculating and realize Andover had such a burst in applications this year that getting in was considerably harder than getting in to Harvard, Princeton, Yale or Stanford. Their acceptance rated are around 4-6%, Getting into Andover was only the top 1-1.5%. Crazy.
