[quote=Anonymous]Assuming that my son can pull off near-perfect SATs, 5s on AP tests, straight A's, etc., would coming from Cardozo significantly boost his chances of getting into a decent Ivy (not Cornell, not Dartmouth, no offense) because he'd stand out more? Or would the fact that he's not a member of an underrepresented group (though also not caucasian FWIW) nor at all socioeconomically disadvantaged mean that he's assumed to be coming from a gentrified family and then gets no extra consideration for coming from a rough school? These days even a perfect transcript isn't a guarantee of anything in college admissions, so exploring what sort of additional advantages are possible since we're now IB for Cardozo. Would especially love to hear from anyone who has parented a kid with similar goals (the intensity on this is coming from him, not from me) through Cardozo.[/quote]
