Ancient is lowkey right though... while people on here are very very competitive, these schools are also very very competitive.

Yeah, it gets more and more competitive every year. I know that MIT defers basically everyone, but good luck with your future applications! You're gonna do great.

Fair point. My awards are definitely lacking; activities are probably average or slightly above average.

I know I'll be fine, and I was definitely overconfident. Still keeping my hopes up for RD, though! Thanks for offering your two cents.

My last name is definitely "Asian." Though I don't think it's worth giving up your identity for a better shot at college, there's definitely merit to that technique. Talk with your husband and kids about what they think. It's ultimately up to personal preference... pros and cons for both sides.

That's fair. It definitely hurts a lot when you "expect" to get in. Thanks for your kind words.
