[quote=Anonymous]Our DD's were completely unhooked (except for the school one was wait listed at, where DD was a double legacy!) with GPAs of 3.7-3.8, they were athletes but not recruited to d1 Ivy programs (one could have walked on but chose not to).  They did take the most challenging tracks of courses, were for sure leaders in their various extracurricular activities, but really I think their academic passions/engagement are what got them in. They did have really close relationships with some teachers and did independent study or special projects with them, which were I am sure reflected in really personal and strong recommendations. One had the same person as her counselor as her English teacher which I think also helped make the process more personal.  They were lucky for sure, but really, every year from Sidwell and from the other top local schools, plenty of kids get into really great schools without hooks, it is just a very almost random process at times, but mostly seems to go very well for my DDs and their friends.[/quote]
