[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, private feeder IS a hook.

my usual reminder to check out the HW college counseling book for their acceptances. they remove the hooked kids. you'll see Harvard will take a  3.5 kid every year and Middlebury won't.

this is from feeder schools only

There are other factors to consider, AOs don't look at 3.5 in isolation.  National awards?  Highest rigor?  High test scores?  Recommendation?  All these factors can prove academic competency.  [/quote]

I think that's what this whole post is about. But I think the point was that a lot of schools will automatically drop a 3.5 kid and, ironically, HYPS are not among those schools. this kid will be a long shot but considering the rest of the application has *some* shot. [/quote]

PP.  Agree, and I think all T20 don't autoreject 3.5.

But also HW is not just any regional feeder school.  Unless OP's school is at HW level, I would think more realistically.  [/quote]

OP I think HW might be top 10 in America. Our HS is top 25. Not quite same league, but a feeder for sure. I wish our HS did what HW did - and produced a document taking out the most hooked. It's hard to look at Naviance knowing how skewed it can be with hooked. [/quote]

If its T25, you are GOLDEN!!! 
Don't worry.

Do you have access to (1) matriculation from your HS for last 1-3 years and (2) where kids were admitted (all admits) last year?
If so, take your HS matriculation on the college counseling website/portal, and download/save it to the paid Claude AI. 
Then input your kids stats and grades, ECs, awards, majors, and guestimate of where in class. 
Ask it for recommendations for schools based on customized historical data. 
Also input any info you have on where kids with the similar "high level" leadership have gone in the past few years, any competition from your current HS senior class as far as legacy (e.g., if there are 3 Harvard legacies, 2 Yale legacies and 3 Stanford legacies in your class, your kid should not waste an REA at ANY of them).[/quote]

I'd like to do this. I have a list of where kids went to college from past 5 years (from school profile) and an access to naviance, but not sure how to download that into something I could upload to Claude. Does anyone know how to do this?

Has anyone used this?
