[quote=Anonymous]I've posted before about my kid who surprisingly got into Stanford with no hook whatsoever. She didn't do anything at school and worked at a makeup counter. Her interests were basically shopping. Anyways, yes, she had strong scores (I think around 750 for each section) and grades that put her just above a 4.0 weighed. What I think got her into the school was her essay, which was essentially about stores, shoppers, how people choose things, etc. She's studying symbolic systems and is working at Amazon this summer basically doing consumer interface stuff. Long story short, it's a crapshoot. Oddly, beyond Stanford, DD was rejected at all of her reaches, was waitlisted at UVA and likely would have been heading to tech. [/quote]
