[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]only real 100% admit hook is athletic recruit

all other things being mentioned will improve odds, but not guarantee

every 5 yr old male should play lax and every female should row - if you want guaranteed T20 admission. Both are easy sports to master - any kid can become ivy caliber with enough private lessons and coaching [/quote]

Rotc is def a hook[/quote]

is this true? any T20s with ROTC? [/quote]

The hook is the four year ROTC scholarship. If you can get that - and it's very competitive - it is a very strong hook. You get the scholarship first, and then you reach out to colleges and apply. It's similar to being a recruited athlete. If you have that four year scholarship, you reach out to the ROTC programs at the schools you're interested in. Like an athlete would with a coach. And basically, the ROTC program then supports the application through the admissions process.

Getting the scholarship is what's the big deal. It's basically worth $300,000 these days. And it requires a lot - stats, real fitness, leadership, community service. Quite a few good schools have significant ROTC programs - MIT, Duke, Princeton, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Michigan, Cornell, and Berkeley are probably the most notable. Get that scholarship, and they will be interested.   [/quote]
Isn't the scholarship not awarded until winter/spring of senior year?[/quote]
