[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a smart/talented/over-represented/non-remote area/middle class student with no hook, I think their best chance to do it organically is to go to a feeder school. They have a realistic chance for ivy by excelling academically with normal vanilla-type ECs.[/quote] This definitely used to be the case (and their feeder school was a hook). For the last 10ish years parents are being told by "feeder schools" that they can't help your kids get in.[/quote] It's all relative. Feeders are still the best chance for organic kids, at least in our school, comparing to 'burb schools. No arms race. I predict it will be more so in the next four years. [/quote]
