[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the GPA is low(er)? They are only top 30 percent? Did the counselor advise ED to Cornell?? That seems really odd and a waste of ED. You have to go down the ranks like Tufts BC EDII. Add U Rochester Case Western Pitt to the RD rounds. [/quote]
I kinda disagree with this.  The hooked kids apply to a different cluster: HYP, Vandy, Penn, Brown, Columbia, Chicago, SLACs.  Some apply TO.

Cornell, JHU, Rice, Emory, CMU, these are hard schools with lower prestige, the hooked kids seldom are interested in going.  Cornell has more legacies (but not donors/connection) applying.[/quote]

Disagree with this [b]entirely[/b].  Last year 3/4 Cornell kids at our school were hooked.  2/2 Emory kids were. 
CMU, JHU and Rice I agree with.  Esp. since JHU is almost anti-legacy kids (as a JHU alum I can attest to this.. lol)[/quote]
How is it possible?  You just partially agreed with me on CMU JHU Rice?

Cornell has many legacies applying, but most of them are not donors or have special connection.  Legacy has some weight but not huge.
Not sure about Emory.[/quote]
