[quote=Anonymous]HYPS spots from private schools tend to go to big donor legacies, URMs, athletes for a sport and position they are recruiting for THAT year, and highly connected families (e.g. a faculty member in the family, a presidential letter, a high ranking government position, CEO). Outside of that your student with top grades, high test scores and solid EC accomplishments, along with the reputation of the school, will have many great options among which are the other Ivies, Duke, Chicago, MIT, Caltech, LACs.... Your school will also have stronger connections to some colleges than others so that too will factor into the mix. Your child will essentially be competing against the others in the class and you will have no real idea of what that competition will look like so that's why it seems so random. [/quote]
