[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some kids from Stuyvesant [/quote]

The Stuy kids will not be a surprise it will usually be some USAMO level kids.[/quote]

Beyond that. [/quote]

+1. Lots of USAMO qualifiers and not enough spots. Probably need to be a MOPper or USAMO silver/bronze plus all the other things (GPA/rigor/SAT/ and strong ECs) for the STEM kids.[/quote]

What if you're white, a URM in math?

[/quote]

I didn’t think I could be shocked by anything, but wow. The things that people say (type) when anonymous. It makes me so sad. But I guess if you’re white….study harder in math and be judged on your merits. Stop asking for a handout.

As far as the athletic recruits go, yes there’s a threshold, but it’s a very different one than other students. [/quote]

MIT and Caltech are exceptions.  Athletes might get a little help but not much and they also don’t get the pretend or likely letter process.  Someone who chooses to roll the dice for a spot on the crew team MIT for example is probably giving up a sure spot at Harvard.

At an Ivy or a Nescac the GPA/rigor/scores might be the same but athletes can count their sport as basically all their EC credit.  Plus they have the advantage of knowing if they will get in before they choose where to ED/SCEA/REA.[/quote]
