How many nonhooked students at your DC area private school were accepted into top 15/Ivies this year? If willing, please share the name of your school or at least the size of student body and the specific acceptances.

Can you define “non-hooked”?

Will you please stop?! How many ways can you ask the same question? Go back to your SCOIR data and obsess. You can't match SCOIR data (unhooked kids) to anecdotal info. News flash: NOT EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT A HOOK OR NOT. You know who can help you out? Your child's college counselor. He/she is just an email away.

New PP here - but sadly, this is not the case at some schools.

And counselor will NEVER tell you even from past data whether most people were legacy or athlete (let alone VIP and diversity)

There's no way to know people's "hooks." If my cousin is the director of admissions at Yale, I'm not telling!

Let's start with this definition: White or Asian kid not recruited for sports.

But legacy certainly can have a big thumb on the scale. There is no way anyone can accurately answer the OPs question. This is a stupid thread.

Lots of Asian and (especially) white Ivy legacies at my children’s Big 3. The vast majority seem to end up matriculating to their parents alma mater. 🤔

It all ends up coming out by May of senior year at DMV small privates - the kids suss it all out - it's hard for a Yale or Princeton admit to go unnoticed when they have never been in rigorous courses or get average grades.

For the private school parents who shell out a ridiculous amount under the guise of education when really they want either indoctrination to a religion or to say their kid went to private LOL. Either way it's a free country til the election.


Also Moms4Liberty is all over social media pushing private over public for voucher programs. Ie school choice garbage.
