[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids I know heading to Yale are legacies and have well known parents (at least in academic/political circles). All but one of the kids I know going to Harvard are legacyand/or children of well knowm public figures. The only non-hooked kid I know of going to an Ivy has does public interest work to such an extent they have a following of young people across the country. Hooks matter. [/quote] This. +1 [/quote] So what. I know a half dozen going to Harvard, Yale and Princeton who are unhooked. [/quote] Not sure as to what is going on w other schools, but at Sidwell just about every Ivy admit has a standard hook: legacy/athlete/urm. Doesn't take away from the fact that these are all excellent students. But, yes, all hooked.[/quote]
