Oops! Forgot to respond to the second half of your question. Catfish is correct in his recitation of the statistics for this year. However, realize that this story was true for many of the elite schools this year. It is simply going to be harder at all the top schools, as the candidate pool grows in numbers. Wish the news were better, and that’s why we say pick reaches, matches and love your safety!That’s not to say your D won’t get in. Just that it will be harder.
D scored a virtual perfect SAT score and didn’t receive such a letter. Don’t know where the list comes from. She is a jr doing study abroad this year.
