[quote=Anonymous]To the poster who asks what "hooks" get into Yale, in our recent experience, athletic recruits, diversity, children of alumni (but only some of them who also are very very strong students and leaders), children of famous people, and then kids that are truly brilliant and well on their way to be true scholars, not simply kids who score well on tests and have great grades, so clearly teacher recommendations and school recommendations saying "this kid is really special" plays a role. Harvard being really really rich seems to help the most, along with alumni connections, seems to make up for not being the best of all possible students. [/quote]
