[quote=Anonymous]Forget Presidential scholar being enough. A Harvard article stated that they only take 5% based on academic talent. That's 95% for everything else. The fashion right now is to be pointy. So if that high academic kid wasn't out there spending his free time doing contests and summer college courses, he's not going to compete well against the Intel winners in that 5% bucket. It is not a lottery and not fair but it's been this way for years. And once you've been through the grist mill once with your first kid, you approach the next in line very differently. In the end, most kids will be happy where they land if they prioritize just one factor that is important to them whether that be prestige, academics or social. In OP's case, it appears prestige so I would use the double legacy card ED. It's not as if Columbia weren't highly respected in the same academic and professional circles.[/quote]
