[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is interesting. Once you remove the obvious (classes, grades and test scores), most people don’t know what makes a good HPY candidate. Got one vote up thread for leadership. It’s particularly interesting because those on DCUM with kids rejected from Ivies are sure there’s discrimination or a lottery effect going on, but I don’t know how such conclusions can be made if people don’t even know what makes an effective candidate. [/quote] OP said no hooks and most of the class will have hooks. My ideal HYP candidate would be a kid who is good enough academically and also good enough at a sport to play in the ivy league or whose dad is rich enough that the development office will reach out to admissions or famous enough that whatever mechanism is in place to make sure that a governor's kid or fortune 500 ceo's kid is accepted kicks in.
