My daughter received her first rejection letter today, from Olin. To be honest, we were surprised rather than disappointed. She has been accepted by MIT-ea, Caltech-ea and also received Yale’s likely letter. I have to say that she is serious about Olin, since she did not want her parents to pay for her tuition (we do not qualify for need-based finaid).
About STATS:
SATI 2330 (780C/800M/750W, one sitting); SATII (760lit/780bio/800m2, one sitting); 10 APs, all scored 5 (national AP scholar); USAMO qualifier every year since 9th grade; went to MOP; GPA 3.98uw/6.7w (ranking 8th in our county with more than 10,000 graduating seniors); Recs, should be superb (at least one teacher showed her); Piano (13 years) and violin (7 years); DDR, level 9 (she did not put DDR in her appl). I started to wonder whether Olin understands her achievements.
