[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I’m an HYP alum (and a legacy myself, so DC would be 3rd generation), but not a big donor, how much does that help admission chances? DC is on a path to have excellent grades/scores and some good ECs, but nothing like the national level achievements that seem to be needed for most to get in. [/quote] It helps but obviously it won't be what moves the needle all the way. If your child is already very competitive, legacy will move the needle a little bit. You do not need national-level awards to get into HYPS. Most admits do not have that. There are very few students with big-time national awards that actually mean something (i.e. ISEF, siemens , Regeneron STS, some very prestigious literary competition etc). Nowhere near enough to fill the entire class at HYPS. [/quote]
