[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What percent of students do you think get into Ivy leagues who are both:

- completely unhooked and by that I mean, including Rural, first GEN, low income, minority, athletes, feeder schools, come from states that produce few applicants, etc.

AND

- have zero pushing from parents (to join/start/continue activities, college admissions counselors, essay help, etc) OR anything that results in a curated college app.

The ivies have always been hard to get into if you are unhooked. If you are going to count geographic diversity and low income as hooks, I'd bet there are very few completely unhooked kids getting into ivies ever.[/quote]

Put another way...what UMC parent these days just doesn't give a shit about their kid's activities (or call it their lack of involvement in any) or their class schedule (that matters too) or their college prospects?

Most don't even care about the Ivy league, but they aren't doing nothing.

It's hard to understand who qualifies under OP's guidelines.[/quote]
