[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] Certainly been the case for my DC. This year, even for some top 20 SLACs that already recruited lower stat athletes and waitlisted my DS.[/quote]
