[quote=Anonymous]It is a crapshoot for any given school because the are building diverse classes, and you cannot control the rest of the applicant pool in a given year. But we have met a number of smart, non-legacy, non-athletic recruits in the ivy league, and plenty of them are not recognized URMs. But those kids do tend to have the highest grades, very high test scores (800s or near), great recommendations, insightful essays, and some awards or other special accomplishments / talents they pursue beyond the four corners of high school. They don't need to win the Intel competition (but that doesn't hurt of course), cure cancer, or publish a novel by 17, but if a kid has not done these sort of things he must show in multiple ways that he is possesses both academic and personal traits likely to help him or her contribute in multiple ways to campus life and beyond.
