My son's school EA data to S

Thanks Weston to share your thoughts.

I create a new posting on this because it is a mystery to me why admission data of my local school is unreasonale.  Maybe other schools or parents have similar experience and can share some light .......

Every year about 3 get into S through regular admission. For ~5 years, no one got in through EA. Not sure if any of the 3 was deferred or all EA were rejected.

Even the high school teachers and counselors recommend 12th graders think hard about this before they apply to S. One year, a kid with Gold Metal from International XXX Olympia was rejected (NOT DEFERRED). He thought he would be in for sure! He is a wonderful student, later got admission from all other IVYs and MIT.

While S admit so many students in EA, the record of EA from this high school is just bad somehow.

• 和别的学校比， 斯坦福的early录取的名额是少的。而且它的early的录取率也只有10%。 -yingyingyueyue- ♀ (58 bytes) () 12/15/2014 postreply 16:52:08

• 那就拿哈佛保底，以后在申请S：）） -Manymore- ♀ (0 bytes) () 12/15/2014 postreply 16:56:31

• 这个思路是对的。哈佛今年early的录取率是22%。 -yingyingyueyue- ♀ (0 bytes) () 12/15/2014 postreply 16:59:33
