[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Naviance and talking to your student's guidance counselor can yield the best information. That said, the top top colleges are a crap shoot unless you have a hook (won state science fair, nationally top ten ranked in his/her sport, grandfather just gave $2M, won a Nobel or Pulitzer Prize, discovered a treatment for Ebola....). It doesn't mean not to take the crap shoot if you think you may be one of the lucky ones, but make sure you have a backup.[/quote] you forgot URM. the score gap between asian and black at a place like princeton is insane. A black kid with 2100 boards and decent grades will get into multiple top 10 schools. [/quote] Not really, it depends. URM from upper middle class has less of a chance than an URM from a less privileged background. If the backgrounds are the same, the admission stats are similar. [/quote]
