[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different poster:

It is quite amazing that when I look at the exmissions for my child's non-TT (but very good) school, a large percentage of the kids getting into Ivies+ are legacies, URM, or athletes (very few athletes). And there are many kids with parents who went to those schools who end up at "lower ranked" schools.

My spouse and I both went to separate Ivy+ schools and when applying for HS, we made a point of mentioning our alma maters and that we are involved at them during our interviews. It likely didn't make a difference.

Interesting! You are saying many Ivy admits are legacy etc but many legacies also don’t get into ivies. I guess there are just too many legacies in NYC private schools.

Combine this with the responses from the Dalton alumnus and others I’m guessing: 
Most of the Ivy admits from TT are hooked;
There are some unhooked but not many;
For unhooked kids Cornell and Penn are the “easier” ivies.[/quote]

Ivies are difficult and somewhat random for everybody these days, not just at TT privates.[/quote]
