[quote=Anonymous] Well, by OP's own post it is only "the majority" of students who got into ivies from her son's school who had hooks -- the implication is that a few others got in who did not have URM/legacy status or athletic talent. It is very tough and somewhat random, not impossible, and at the end of the day there are many other great options for strong students undergrad. At our DC's school that would not be deemed "Big X" on this board, I am aware of only a few students who got into ivies, but at least 50% or more did not have traditional hooks to my knowledge. As has been said many times before on these boards, the Big x are all great schools, but if you selected one for college placement purposes, you started down the wrong path in the fist place.[/quote]
