[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why isn't HYP possible at Yorktown? [/quote] It’s not impossible, but without a hook HYP are going to look more favorably on minority candidates from other area public schools with more rigorous academic reputations. [/quote] +1 - Places like Yorktown, Mclean, etc are actually a negative for applicants these days at these places, which is too bad. They just dont want kids from these places unless they are altogether extraordinary. [/quote] Well, come on, the same could be said for the wealthy suburbs of most major cities in the US. As I told my own kid with top stats who wants to apply -- everyone applying has top stats. You have to have something else to stand out.[/quote] Well yeah. It can be said for all wealthy suburbs. But I think it's true these days. Colleges don't prefer kids from these places so you have to even more extraordinary to get admitted from a school like this.[/quote]
