[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're at a private HS in nyc and several kids get likely letters every year from Ivy League schools. These kids are opposite of FGLI. I think you guys are coping if you think it's only FGLI. It wasn't my kid, but that wasn't because they were FGLI lol![/quote]

This board and forum survive solely on the idea that everyone else is gaming the system and they’re the only honest players. That’s how they cope with their children not getting what they want. [/quote]

this is correct. 1 out of every 20 almost all academically qualified kids get into HYP. imagine who they pull out of the select group to send likely letters. they are kids they want, they know will have other offers. Most kids in America are FG or LI and many are both. DCUM think admissions committees say, Oh look! a son of a Jamaican nanny from Brooklyn with a 1500 SAT - send him a likely letter."  That's not it, people. There are many many qualified kids, even qualified FGLI, who get no likely letter and no acceptance letter at all. Get real[/quote]
