My S got in last year ED from a small, rural public school with about 100 in his class and only 1 other Ivy admission in the history of the school. I think it was a huge advantage to be from his school because he really shined in his class and was so far over and above the school’s averages. His test scores weren’t bad…but not amazing…grades and ec’s were stellar and he took the most rigorous classes offered even if they didn’t apply to him. As he tells it…he made the choices necessary to get in to the school of his dreams.
