[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]--Top 10% or high stats + hook: HYPSM+ Wharton
--High stats, missing national level ECs or hook: Duke, Northwestern, Brown, Penn, Chicago
--High stats + normal ECs OR some flaw on their record (like a bad grade or two) - Cornell, Georgetown, JHU, Berkeley, UCLA, Vanderbilt, WashU, Rice, WASP[/quote]

private NYC and similar but it's a school with grade deflation (and a couple of landmine teachers who can tank GPA if you get stuck with them), so there's a couple different groups

-- Good but not top stats (3.85) + unhooked + known school leadership (ie, elected school president) + HOS LOR: Can be HYP
-- Good but not top stats (3.8) plus academic "story": head of blood drive/certified EMT/summer research program at Princeton/paper on blood cancer. Those kids do well but they start in 9th. not HYSPM or Duke but everything else on the table.

Also, BC apparently took counselor calls from our school during WL period. if you really wanted BC and told your advisor, they could make that happen. (not sure if full pay or not)[/quote]

None of the NYC private would do blood drive.  :lol: 
It's not happening with those parents.

Well my kids are at a NYC private and there's a blood drive every year. It might be twice a year. Not sure what you mean about parents. Parents are welcome to come in and donate, but it's usually kids (who I think have to be 16) and faculty. [/quote]
