[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know of two different boys who got into Stanford. Interestingly, they had almost exactly parallel trajectories. Both Asian with near perfect SAT and GPA, along with generic overachiever ECs like olympiads alongside inauthentic, parent-driven "nonprofits" and research. Both are pretty cocky (to the point of most people finding them obnoxious--I can't imagine they would interview well). Both were humbled when they were rejected or waitlisted by literally every Ivy and, for one of them, WL at Georgetown. Both families were in a panic. BUT then on Friday, they were both accepted by Stanford. No idea if this is a coincidence how similar these two are, but it suggests maybe Ivies have seen enough of the parent-packaged ECs, but Stanford still responds to that sort of kid? [/quote] Interesting. I met 15 REA admits and their families in January and literally none fit the generic profile you describe.[/quote]
