[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why isn't HYP possible at Yorktown? [/quote] It’s not impossible, but without a hook HYP are going to look more favorably on minority candidates from other area public schools with more rigorous academic reputations. [/quote] +1 - Places like Yorktown, Mclean, etc are actually a negative for applicants these days at these places, which is too bad. They just dont want kids from these places unless they are altogether extraordinary. [/quote] McLean had at least 14 kids from the Class of 2019 going to Ivies + Stanford. I assume they were all strong candidates. [/quote] URMs and legacies. Nearly all. [/quote] Seven of the 14 were Asian, so not URMs. Two were URMs, and three of the five white kids were recruited athletes. At least one of the other white kids was a legacy. [/quote]
