OP. All wonderful schools. Take some time on the threads for each especially around decision dates. It can be a real eye opener. I wished I had a sense of this beforehand.
Middlebury seriously rewards ed applicants. So take a hard look there if it’s a top choice.
Asian, including Japan are not considered an admissions advantage. They are generally considered over represented. However some LACs are different than others. Look at the data and the threads to track similarly situated students.
I can only say at this point in the process two years ago. We believed our d, val 4.0uw 1530 35 act sports capt and accomplished student was effectively picking her schools. Wrong.
Just be very informed and forewarned on the expectations side of things.
And there are also threads around the Fly in programs and follow up “one on ones” offers. Yes they may increase your odds but 8%to 16% are still low.
And as a parent who is full pay and college educated, three of the major admission preferences are lost to you.
All that being said. She will have somewhere wonderful to go and maybe all the schools you mention.
It’s just there are over 50000 students with an ACT of 35 or 1500 SATs out there. There are 74000 Val’s and sals. Not counting the internstional students and a bunch of great student athletes who also have spots in the process.
And there are only 48,000 seats total for every school in the USA with an acceptance rate of 30% or less. Then you minus out the athletes. The first gen and low ses preference. The development candidates and the children of staff. And the 10 percent for international students. The number is much much lower. And many of the kids with preferences are Val’s sals and high scorers. But not on the whole.
I heard some of this back then but thought it didn’t apply to us. It did.
