[quote=Anonymous]Rule of thumb is that if your unhooked kid has top scores, grades AND at least one thing that truly stands out then HYPS is a good bet for SCEA. Now what constitutes a "standout" trait is easier understood than described. In most cases you can intuitively tell if your kid has it, provided that you are perceptive enough to understand what is going on with your child's peers and you also have done your research and spoken extensively with the GC. Imo an unhooked student who has top scores, grades and great but not standout ECs/achievements is much netter served doing ED at a lower ivy/ivy-equivalent. Lower ivy RDs are now complete crapshoots so going for HYPS SCEA presents a very real threat of being rejected from all ivies if the student is very qualified but not a prodigy. Of course by unhooked I mean a student who is not URM, not first-gen, not low-income, non-athlete, non-legacy and not a development case etc. [/quote]
