[quote=Anonymous]Because of various hooks (sports, art, music, legacy, whatever), these school comparisons of Tsomething matriculations are pretty meaningless. Often people do not know about the hooks. Neighbor kid accepted at an Ivy for STEM with a mix of As and Bs from a good local private. Different kid, same graduating year, better grades and better test scores also for STEM was not accepted. What school and other parents didn't know - because the 1st kid and parents kept quiet - was that 1st kid was a double legacy - parents first met at that same Ivy ugrad and were long-time donors (probably not big money though). This is more common than some people seem to realize.[/quote]
