Chance Me / Match Me: Statistics/Biostatistics — Yale SCEA vs Brown/Duke ED? [MD resident, 4.0 GPA, 1550 SAT]

THIS. I don’t see any absolutely sure things on your current list. You certainly have the potential to get accepted to all of the schools you listed…but that might not happen. Please find a sure thing…just in case.

I’m about to link a very old thread. But I would strongly suggest you read all of it. Even though it’s older, the premise is the same…and college admissions have gotten more competitive in the last 20 years. Like you, this was a VERY strong student. No one expected him to be shut out everywhere he applied as a high school senior…but that is what happened. He was a NMF, class val, excellent LOR and ECs, top SAT score…an all around strong student. He did land on his feet after a well crafted gap year, but you don’t want to be this student. His senior year in high school was filled with disappointment after disappointment.
