[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter got into HYP w similar but..

- National MUN award
- critical language capability but not fluency 
- essay prize in narrow geopolitical issue
-1530 sat

I'd say try to get the sat up a bit but that's not such a big deal. Nailing down a state or national award is important. Does she do debate?

I'd ask her to focus on an issue and write about in it school newspaper, john Locke essay , local newspaper.  Topical but not already front page stuff. Something that came up via debate or MUN maybe. Korean internal politics.   Looking at high speed rails in Japan vs LA. Something like that.

T15 always tough

But Georgetown isn't nearly as hard 
Cornell policy school if really wants ivy
Macalaster w merit. IR/govt dept as strong as Georgetown for cheaper price. 
Scripps as safety w access to CMC and Pomona majors

I wouldn't ED to Emory unless she wants it [/quote]

Yes, Cornell ILR is not as hard, especially if NY residents.  [/quote]

Brooks (public policy) is not the same as ILR.....[/quote]

You are right, they are not.  But these two are of a same level of selectivity.  [/quote]

Based on the #s Brooks has fewer slots and might be more difficult in RD.[/quote]

ILR has an admit rate that is 2x Brooks (public policy). Brooks is actually one of the harder ones at Cornell.[/quote]
