For 2024 and 2025 UNHOOKED ivy acceptances...only if personal knowledge from your own family

Anonymous
How many grades below a full A (so I am also asking about A- grades) and what were those grades (i.e. 3 A- and 1 B+)?

Please - please don't feel the need to answer something I'm not asking or adding information I am not asking. I'm only looking for this specific information. Thanks.

NP. OK, I wanted to help here, but your OP was kind of off putting with its requirement of only what you ask. You want help, but you are dictating how people offer it. Then, someone helps you, and you demand additional info after strict instructions to the contrary.

I helped 3 unhooked students into Ivies, but all these demands just rub me the wrong way.

Unhooked kid into HYP but our HS doesn’t really do A, A- etc.

He has several 3.8s over 4 years, but
our GPA is much harder than most ie a 96 is a 3.8. A 90 is a 3.5.

Unhooked in every way except from a known feeder.

Ivy acceptances do not just depend on grades.

You have to look at the whole application.

Many kids got in without getting all A's.

Yes, but they are mostly hooked — lots of URM, legacies, connected kids, athletes getting in with lower grades. Not a lot of unhooked kids, at least not at HYP.

From our experience, Ivy admittance is not based on grades. Kids with worse grades and less rigor from my child’s school got into Ivies while those at tippy top on both did not. Ivies care more about other aspects once the minimum threshold is met.

Usually the kids with lowet grades apply ED whereas the tippy top kids do SCEA. You can get ED into Cornell with lowet grades but not in RD usually.
