[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The easiest hook is simple being the top of your class. Even the worst inner city and back country rural schools send 1 student to Harvard per year. Look at the polaislist.com , which bases its data on Harvard yearbooks. However, when DCMoms hear that their DC needs to be at the top of the class, they claim that that is so unfair.[/quote] This really is NOT true. The worst inner city or very rural schools are sending 1 student to HYP maybe once a decade. I live in rural america and even the valedictorian at the local public HS is going to the state flagship. This is true of almost all of the other rural communities in my area. [/quote] I live in flyover country in suburbia. Top 50 high school in state. I think we've sent one kid to an Ivy in the last 10 years (Penn for a FGLI URM). Very few apply that I know of.[/quote] That’s such a hook - kids are lucky[/quote]
