[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A child I know got into Cornell with a less than perfect average (3.9 or so) at a competitive public high school. Her hook is she's a super athlete. Even then, they were concerned that she didn't have a 4.0! I think it's almost a lottery to get into the Ivys! Without a hook, an above-average kid doesn't stand a chance! [/quote] True, but who said these schools are for "above average" students? Seriously, it is a lottery for the unhooked A students with more than a year's worth of the hardest APs, near perfect SATs, great recs, outsidecof school academic pursuits, etc. [/quote]
