[quote=Anonymous]From my small sample size (30 or so friends and neighbors in the past few years), a key factor is the high school. Some high-stat kids get into multiple top 15 colleges without cancer-curing level ECs and the common denominator seems to be a HS top colleges already accepts from every year. These kids are otherwise non big donors/legacy, non athletes. Whenever I hear from a friend their DC has high stats and is choosing between Yale and Williams for ED and then 5 months later I hear they ended up at a still great but below top 40 schools, usually they come from a non JT level public or a good but not well-known private. Aiming too high coming from an unconnected HS is a risky move. [/quote]
