[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think you necessarily need a 4.0–‘y kid is at a top 10 with no 4.0. But I do think that the private school admission stats are somewhat obscured by the fact that they have so many legacies, big donors and kids of famous people (yes, that’s a hook). Plus the schools looove to admit URMs from the big private schools. So if you’re an average unhooked white kid, you may be at a disadvantage because they’ve already taken a few from your school out of the other categories, and they can’t be seen as taking too many from any one school.
