[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an Ivy interviewer. I think he'd get some extra consideration coming from Cardozo. Would he get the kind of teaching that would enable him to get 5s on AP tests? The kind of extracurricular opportunities that would enable him to stand out to a school that has 15 applicants for each spot? I don't know.[/quote] Therein lies the rub... the quality of teaching I'm not so worried about, because he's so goddamn self-motivated on that front. Extracurriculars, I'm much less sure about. Especially if he's not in an environment where there's a critical mass of other kids who share his goals or general outlook, I could see him being less interested in extracurriculars. So the question then is whether coming from an unusual/underrepresented school would help more than the lack of the more 'polished' extracurriculars he'd have at a school like Wilson.[/quote]
