[quote=Anonymous]Complete BS, in both my DD's recent graduating classes at big 3s, the majority of admits to HYPS had no hooks: i.e. they were not athletic recruits, were not legacies, and were not URMs. Yes, the process is pretty arbitrary and random once get down to probably the top 25-30% of applicants without hooks, with cases of legacies not getting into the school where they had this supposed hook, but getting into a different HYPS school, and other seemingly strange results, but comes down to how the overall application resonates with the readers on the admissions committee on the day a student is discussed.
