[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a s/o of the Duke vs Northwestern post below.

Here is what I've noticed at our selective NYC public:

--Top 10% or high stats + hook: HYP + Columbia + Penn (Wharton, VIPER or Engineering) .
--High stats, missing national level ECs or hook: Duke, Georgetown, Northwestern, Brown, Penn
--High stats + normal ECs OR some flaw on their record (like a bad grade or two) - Cornell, Chicago, JHU - these kids do very well with ED to the latter two.
--Mid to lower stats + no hook - public school or T50 possibly with merit. Most parents won't pay full for that level.

S and M are rare (most commonly high stats URM); no one gets into Dart or Vandy, for whatever reason

Curious if this is similar to other selective/feeder schools.[/quote]

My kids was a top 10% high stat kid no hook. Accepted off waitlist to an Ivy (husband and mine Alma Mater). But ended up going to a t50 (at the time) Private in the west coast instead. We were really upset but it was his decision. It ended up being the right fit. He is now going back to our Alma Mater for Law School. [/quote]
