[quote=Anonymous]HYP results at our school were enlightening but kinda left a bad taste in that the outcomes were clearly so based on legacy, rare instruments or sports, VIP parents, rather than who are the most talented and hardworking kids overall- the cutoff didnt seem to be highest rigor/best scores but more like very good/ some rigor plus hooks, with the emphasis clearly on hooks. Guess I was a bit clueless going into this. Kids, dont waste your childhood on top rigor, grades, sat, unless you happen to enjoy these things. The elite schools are really not about that. Also the reality that a female 22 year old AO is the screener and may prefer centain types based on her own biases and immaturity. That felt very real for top schools. [/quote]
