[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't quite right - some of these students have hooks and end up at T20 colleges.[/quote] Not usually, because there are plenty of stronger students with the same or similar hooks.[/quote] Maybe I need to put this another way - looking a the list of kids attending T20 from our Big 3 the past two years - this list is NOT skewed to 9th grade admits. Alternatively, it is skewed by VIP, legacy, athlete, and URM families - most of whom were already at the school before 9th grade. (and note that legacy admit often needs a hook in that list). So when people argue that 9th grade admits at the school are "stronger" than average rising 8th grader at a Big3.... it may be true that the new 9th graders are well represented in the highest rigor classes, but it doesn't mean they are the only ones in the high rigor classes and it 100% DOES NOT mean that this will translate into T20 college attendance.
