[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of curated EC, paid packaging, legacy/connections. The ivy admits I know from this cycle are bright AND have all of the above. Great kids but not exceptional. The narrative building starts early and the kids do have impressive/distinctive experiences and awards to showcase and write about. The holistic process of top schools offers many pathways to acceptance...and top stats/rigor is just 1 of many considerations. [/quote] This. These kids are special but not in ways that necessarily warrant unlimited attention and admiration. I would take the top 10% of the kids from our public high school, only a few of whom will ever see an Ivy (not enough legacies, athletes or URMs), over Ivy kids any day of the week when it comes to being grounded, well rounded young adults.
