[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an actual GDS senior class parent I don't think we are doing "amazing." I know MANY high stats kids who were deferred or rejected from Ivy League and other top schools and I agree the successes had nothing to do with the college counseling office. It was the kids who were all special or outstanding in some way so kudos to them. Yes this was a good showing at Harvard but the rest are Meh. And it's early days.[/quote] Legacies. You omitted legacies. [/quote] Different school but what happens at our school is that the legacies anccepted are very accomplished and would have gotten in 15 years ago without legacy. But now they would have no chance if they weren’t legacy. It’s now the “hook” but they’re just as accomplished as the average kid accepted. For example, a legacy ED Penn accepted applicant would get rejected if they applied non-legacy ED too Duke, but would probably get accepted non-legacy ED to UVA.[/quote]
