[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably the biggest hook is being a faculty kid.[/quote]

I don't think that is true, and not a hook at all schools.

Athletic recruit is easily the biggest hook.[/quote] While true, it’s much harder to be a world class athlete than a good student. [/quote]

Nope.  For HYPS, you can lie and say that your kid is a "great athlete" even if they suck.  Not only that, you can say your parents attended HYPS, even if they didn't.  Happening right now in close in NOVA, for real, sadly. Make a couple mil donation, and done and done. [/quote]

Legacy is a hook but only if you have the stats to place you in the ranges of the accepted kids.  Outside of that, legacy does not help ---- absent very large donations or the 10th generation to attend harvard.[/quote]

it can be a very large hook if it's multiple generations with very active participation (no school will not admit a board member's kid) [/quote]
