First, it's all relative. While the number admitted into the undergraduate class has remained unchanged for years, Stanford, like many of its peer schools, has had a record number of total applicants. Regardless of arguments over whether too much preference is given to one category over another, thousands of students are going to be turned away, and there is no doubt that the vast majority of them could have met the demands of a Stanford education. We could, for instance, have filled incoming classes four or five times over with applicants who achieved grade point averages of 4.0 or greater.
I wish there were a formula to explain who is accepted and who isn't, but the decision making is as much art as it is science. Each class is a symphony with its own distinct composition and sound; the final roster is an effort to create harmony, and that means that some extraordinary bass players don't get a chair. What's more, even among my staff there are legitimate differences about applicants. The bottom line: The world is not going to judge anyone negatively because they didn't get into Stanford or one of our peer institutions.
Must come from a small state. In large states, there are many US presidential scholar semi finalists. It basically just needs a full score of ACT/SAT. 全国赛事, the value depends on what the 赛事 is. Class rank #1 is good, but this is also from a very small class (<100).
Other than that, I don't see any unique shining points beyond a typical 学习优秀的小中.
But Harvard waitlist means something. It's not easy even to get H WL. If he applied ED for little ivies or alike, he/she should have much higher chance to get in.
But the state MD/Ph.D program should work well if he/she is set on the MD path.
Regular decision 申请7所，无一录取，只有3个waitinglist

12年全A获奖者，年级排名第一

总体看了一下儿，觉得孩子很优秀！感觉推荐信这方面做得不好，特别是 counselor 的推荐信很重要！申请大学有要求：counselor 加 任课教师 （二人）共三份推荐信。
这是不对的！这是他 （ 她 ）的责任，工作。大学要求是必需要有这个的！这可能是最大的问题！

怎么融洽同子女的关系?
·不要监控孩子的电话，尊重其隐私权。
·对孩子的朋友要和蔼可亲，但不要同他们过于亲近。不要侵入他（她）的天地。
·不要在他人面前夸奖孩子，这样会使其尴尬。
·不要在他人面前批评或斥责孩子。如果必须要这样做的话，应该在无人的时候。
·母亲在他人面前要注意服饰。母亲的形象不整洁，孩子会感到羞耻。
·如果你的孩子参加学校的演出，他（她）在舞台上时你不要打手势，这样会令他（她）紧张，甚至出错。
·孩子和你一起坐自己家的车出门时，不要把汽车收音机调到你所喜爱的频道。让孩子挑选电台，但可要求他调低音量。
·在子女需要帮助时要给予帮助，但要注意方法。
·子女在一定的阶段就像需要食品一样需要爱抚，但是爱抚要适可而止，不要在公开场合这样做，更不要在朋友面前这样做。
·不要让你的孩子在外人面前表现他的“本事”，如朗诵、唱歌、跳舞或弹钢琴。如果你为他的本领自豪并希望让人家看到，那就对他提出请求。如果父母坚持让他们在外人面前表现本领，有的孩子会感觉自己像马戏团的猴子。
·不要向他的朋友和亲属讲他的怪癖，尤其不要当他的面前。任何孩子都不愿意别人知道自己的隐私。
·不要让他失去对你的信赖。他向你透露的秘密，你不要告诉别人。你一定要完全尊重他的意愿。
·在他面前不要说谎。他看到自己的父母说谎或弄虚作假，就会感觉不好。例如，父母在某人背后说坏话，而当面又装出热情的样子，孩子就会反感。

但您小孩这么好， 以后肯定会很成功的。
藤校受惊而逃？
很优秀的孩子。 祝福！
医学院要考，大二结束就要求考，本科给3年完成
男孩？哪几所RD？
申请7所都没录取，连C, UPenn, Cornell都没录取吗？真不知道这些录取官都在想什么。
Leadership? 哈佛更看重这一点? 想学医所体现的leadership在哪里? 瞎猜的。
这么好的学生不录取。
小中男？
州工资水平低，学校若给资助成本大？
为什么没录取。大藤没把握，小藤应该至少有一个。
是高他两届的同学，也是一路all state
布朗本医连读被拒
那个相当于大藤。其它的再等等可能会有好消息。
一直在本地united ways活动，4年
还有写作的分数，也没看到。。。。。
生物790
化学790
Sat 写作 19
会建议重考，因为报的是要学医。这两项SAT的分数很重要。
写作没问题
反正將來是要當醫生的，把醫學院的學費省了。學醫，任何醫學院都行。總共10年，大學就四年。醫學院一般也是四年。多兩年拿個PhD沒啥不好。17歲進去，MD／PhD出來才27歲。前途無量。
这是由专业人士组成的评审委员会评定的。
不申请这个，除非要拿总统奖。
他很坚持的，只要是action day, 都参加，有次活动本地学生就他一个现场，其它是各界人士
这个写作分数有小中男进H
一般早录取的学生不会费事去申请或想留给同学机会，除非真的想拿最终的总统奖。
赌博也可以，但是要有失败的心理准备。。。。。
因为学校不是很好，Top GPA不一定给力加没有课外的研究做支持，SAT单科成绩就显得重要了。尤其是和所报专业有关的专科成绩。
Anyway, 实力在，以后会走得远。祝福孩子！

朋友的小中女儿正好也申请了我娃申请的学校，不是藤校，朋友不缺钱，女儿录取了，我娃waitinglist
朋友的女儿各项都弱一些
所以Need blind 很难相信
如果俺没记错，800的压倒率都是高于90%滴。。。。。
12年都是第一
爹妈足可骄傲，不一定非要拿去不去哈佛做考量。感觉他们都是选故事性更强的，而不一定是更优秀的。比如你们镇有个小孩，学习排名低上十几名甚至更多，混乐队打酱油没有all state，但是人家大高中校队队长，再弄个哈佛喜欢的校报什么的混混，真不好说谁去哈佛的可能性更大呢。。。
觉得化学容错率挺高的。我家非学医娃，上了化学H之后，自己学习了一下要考但是没学过的部分，肯定错了很多，也拿了800分。他家学医的，没考800分好像不应该啊。
你们学医，不必上藤。
记得要另外申请。
国内公平，为什么不在国内上大学？
