[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asian girl Upper Middle Class solid EC, but nothing national and no major awards No hooks high GPA strong SAT (NM semifinalist) but very round, not pointy, so its such a rarity to get in. Princeton, early. [/quote] I think people overstate the "kids have to be pointy to get in" mantra. Many of the kids who get into to Ivies from DC's private are "round" -- sports captain, student council, school paper, etc. It's good to be round if you're a leader/active participant. What schools don't want is a kid who is a member of 10 different clubs and really does nothing. Congrats to your daughter![/quote] I think private is the key word here, at least when it comes to top schools. Not to say that rounded can't get in from publics, but the ones we know that got in early were high stats and pointed. The bar is different for private. [/quote]
