[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you looking at matriculation from top private high schools, here is the truth: if you have a high stats kid with no hook, the chances of your kid going to ivy is slim to none. The ivy bound kids are mostly - athletes, development ($$$$), arts, and URM. Example - Harvard - 2 athletes, 2 high stats w symphony level world competition wind instrument, and 3 kids w connected and $$$$ parents. Your high stats kid w no hook would be guided towards UVA, Michigan, Wash U, U Chicago even though he may be a better student than the ivy bound kids. [/quote] Not true. Went through the process recently. Lots of "average excellent" unhooked kids end up at most of the the Ivies and Chicago. HYPS seems to be where that's harder for the unhooked. [/quote]
