[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We go to Stanford Sierra Camp. The counselors are current students. Their amazing traits go beyond the raw stats you are talking about. Think “I spent a gap year studying with a 32nd generation Shaolin Master.” That type of kid. Plus the double legacies.[/quote]

This is a canard. It’s a bedtime story you tell yourself to make you and your kids feel better after they’re rejected.  Someone must have cheated or had an unfair advantage.  [/quote]

DP here.  I see your point, but the real stories are that donations do wonders. If you don't know anyone in that situation, fine - but it happens more than you think.[/quote]

Since you seem to know please tell us how often it happens. Not saying it doesn’t happen but even the vaunted Harvard Z list had maybe 60 kids on it[/quote]

Every single kid at our Big 3 who got into Stanford the past 3 yrs had a major hook. If you don't believe it then you don't know the whole story. [/quote]

And the three kids at our school who got in had no hooks. So what?  [/quote]

Cool story. Thanks for the helpful post. [/quote]

Oh I’m sorry - I’ll toe the party line.

If you’re kid was rejected from Stanford or any other elite school it is solely because they didn’t have a hook.

Feel better now?[/quote]
