[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Your understanding of Ivy League admission is fundamentally wrong. Ivies are not particularly interested in "well rounded" applicants. They are looking at kids with big spikes. They are also looking at kids with hooks (URM, donor, legacy). Just being a straight A student without big spikes or hooks is not enough. If you understand this, you will be better equipped in selecting high schools for your kid(s).[/quote] You are not going to find a big spike without money. The niche sport that only a wealthy family can pursue, the founding of a not-for-profit company to serve a community, traveling abroad every year to master a foreign language, etc... In addition, connections and money tend to help in securing an impressive internships at the high school level and attending the university's summer enrichment program for high school students.
