[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading about last year's admits, it sounds like a kid with top stats will not be admitted unless they fit one of these categories. Is that the case?[/quote]

Does parents high level job connections count as a hook? [/quote]

Generally only combined with legacy status. 
Also, "high level" around here is someone with national prominence well outside of their own industry etc.  Almost every parent has "high level connections" within their own job sector.

I beg to differ. Some schools need to place their students after graduation in internships and other areas.[/quote]

yeah, but they're not giving preferential admissions to kids from a Big3 unless their parent is an actual VIP--someone who is nationally known outside of their field or the CEO of a massive company (good example: supreme court justice)
Big law partners, doctors, even most CEOs are a dime a dozen at a Big3 (like 80% of the parents)[/quote]
