I heard someone provide numbers that puts admissions into Ivy League schools in perspective. There are about 24,000 HS in the US. The entire freshman class of all ivy leagues combined is about 16,000. There’s not enough space at Ivy League schools to accept every single valedictorian in the US. Factor in homeschoolers and international students, and admission odds are low. Qualified candidates get rejected. I k is your questions was about schools in the next tier, but this idea can be expanded to little ivys and the like. Those schools typically have even smaller freshman classes are also highly selective. I can’t answer your question, but thought I’d throw that out there.

Thanks to everyone who post on this board. It's been really helpful as we navigate homeschooling for the first time. This is the schedule we have for our 9 year old. We also have a soon to be 5 year old.
