[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find this implausible, and I am not a BASIS hater or critic.

How many kids among those 5 acceptances? I know of 1 Ivy and 1 MIT. [/quote]

Pp - 6 different kids. 3 at Yale, 1 Dartmouth, 1 MIT and 1 Tufts early confirmed. [/quote]

3 admits to Yale out of a class of 40 some students?  That seems really high/great![/quote]

Just curious if the Yale kids are all legacy? [/quote]

No. One is a legacy, one is a Questbridge scholar and the other is [b]otherwise unhooked.[/b] [/quote]

Ivy legacies are normally high SES white kids, so that's interesting.

Whatever "unhooked" means.  Being a legacy certainly isn't the only way to be "hooked." An applicant can be recruited by a faculty member or department for high achievement in at least one area, e.g. winning a Westinghouse prize.[/quote]

Hooked is used as a shorthand for legacies or children or major donors, recruited athletes, and under-represented minorities. And none of these students won a Westinghouse prize or the like.[/quote]
