And the 3.1? Hooked. Some of the others you think are not probably are.

Private school kids applying to selective colleges are more likely to be hooked. And/or full pay.

OK, humor me. Harvard (4) and Penn (6) have multiple IG posted admits this year. How many to each are hooked in your opinion? Give me a number or percent, no need for further identifying details.

None of the Penn admits have an obvious hook that I’m aware of. One Harvard admit is a sports recruit (it says so on the IG post), and one Harvard admit is a legacy. I’m not sure if the other 2 Harvard-bound students are legacies or the children of big $ donors.

The Harvard Legacy has the best GPA with the most rigorous courses.

I think the GDS kids are reporting across the breath of the class far more than Sidwell. It shows even in the number on the IG - 84 have reported at Sidwell and 108 at GDS. Applaud GDS for creating a community where everyone (or almost) feel ok to report where they are heading to college.
