[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The students from our W school that got into Ivy League schools were ALL legacy and sports admits. All of them. Unless you have a hook, focus on top public schools and/or the top in your state. It’s not a lottery getting into a top Ivy school, it’s that their parents are alumni.[/quote] +2 My kid is at a Big3 private and the Ivy admits were all (almost all?) athletic recruits, legacy (usually double legacy) or URM. And the legacy kids were usually ALSO URM or athletic admits. I will add that all of these kids are are known to be very smart with high stats. I know one crazy smart accomplished kid that went HYP last year and I was sure they were not a recruit or URM or legacy. And then my kid said in passing that parent and grandparent went to the school. [/quote]
