[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a kid from a T2 or possibly even T3 school who got into HYP within the past few years basically unhooked, full pay (but not wealthy enough to move the needle). Unless there is something about the kid that I don't know, which is possible. Nice kid but not off the charts smart.

Crazier things have happened.[/quote]

It is easier to get into HYP from a 2T or 3T than a TT, much easier. [/quote]

I’m not sure why this is funny. You’d rather have a 1600 and 4.0 at a 2T and probably be valedictorian than a 1600, 3.8, and being at the 85th percentile at a TT. The competition at a TT is extreme. [/quote]

Yup. Top kids at 2T and 3T schools are just as good as kids at TT schools. It is the bottom half of the class where things are different. So the top 25-30% of kids (plus/minus depending on the school) do just as well for college as at TT's, and often have a much happier four years of HS.

It is no different than how the top kids at a random flagship state school are just as good as kids at HYP. It is just the median kid at these schools who are a lot different.[/quote]
