[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happens a lot at top privates. You have to be willing to flex your ED. It happened last year at our school with Princeton. Class size 70. Candidates: -3rd generation legacy, top grades, class president, recruited athlete -recruited athlete -recruited musician (yes, there is such a thing) -legacy x 2 parents, minority Now a white, top student is going to have a very, very, very hard time jumping the Princeton line. And unlikely that Princeton is going to admit 5 kids from a class of 70. They were directed to Yale, etc. This year it is Yale. You have: -Class president, top academic student -Legacy x 2 parents -athletic recruit -sibling x 2, -faculty kid. Yale is pretty much off the table for a generic smart kid. And only 2 of these 5 were admitted SCEA so far. The rest will likely follow. [/quote] Was this Holton?[/quote]
