[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ivy RD is out. Anyone in? Stats please. [/quote]
Accepted at [b]Yale, Columbia and Penn[/b]. Waitlisted at Princeton and Brown. Rejected at Harvard.[/quote]

Congratulations! Stats/EC’s /hooks etc please [/quote]

I say a major hook or hooks to get into 3 ivies.  [/quote]
Not in our case. No hook at all, no donor, no URM, no athlete. Humanities oriented. A lot of theater during high school; languages; volunteering. [/quote]

Congrats!!!! I have a theory that the kids who get into Ivies get the best teacher recommendations— meaning they know their recommenders outside of class in other contexts and the teacher is able to say the student is one of the best they have ever had and can write a detailed recommendation. I would be curious to know what information you provided to the teacher for him/her to write the recommendation.[/quote]

Based on my son's experience, I disagree. 1600, NMS, 4.0 uw w/12 APS (all 5s), strong ECs, recs (which we saw) said things like that the student's natural intelligence coupled with his grit were matched by his kindness/generosity/humility.  Rejected at 4 Ivies. In at U of Chicago, CMU,  and Northwestern.[/quote]
