[quote=Anonymous]All of the top 10 or so privates in DC typically have some kids go to each of the schools. The counselors and staff at those schools may have slightly differing relationships with the admittance staff at HYP - but not by much in terms of actual admittance results they get - that only goes so far really. The percentage of kids admitted to HYP is always going to be higher at the elite privates than any public by sheer size ratios. So your 'odds' are highest at the top 5-10 DC privates - so flip a coin or spin a wheel or whatever. But all the other factors (academics, special accomplishments, test scores, legacy parents, diversity, etc) will always weigh in. You are better off trying to cultivate a famous or influential alum from a given school - or giving a ridiculously large amount of money to the school - if you are looking for strings to pull.[/quote]
