[quote=Anonymous]I'm an Ivy alum who's interviewed DC applicants, mostly public school students, since the late 90s. My spouse has long interviewed for a different Ivy. As far as we can tell, no question that impressive off-beat interests and achievements give academically solid applicants a leg up in Ivy admissions these days. BASIS doesn't seem to get it. I'd wager that more BASIS DC students would be admitted to our Ivies if the school encouraged singular interests and quirky academic achievement. Marine biology, yes. Hint: TJ in Fairfax has a marine biology research lab.[/quote]
