[quote=Anonymous]My scholarship-girl DD was plausibly admitted to an HYP in part because of — not in spite of — a few powerful families in her school who were getting their kids in. She was no shoe-in, but I think the admissions people took a real shine to her (great essays and presumably great recs) and I think made the case that it was patently unfair to reject her and admit the VIP classmate with similar credentials. Of course, I can’t know what happened, but my other children had similar credentials but no VIP competition and were not admitted. Maybe being on financial aid helped her and reinforced the fairness aspect.[/quote]
