[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]#9 and got into Harvard? Class rank is irrelevant. My classmate and I wee #30 and #50 in our HS class in the 80s and we both went to Yale. [/quote] Yes, at my public high school the kids who went to Ivy were obviously strong students, but also had parents who were familiar with that world and knew how to position them for admissions. I remember asking one of them what's the Ivy League? LOL. Looking back today I can see what they did to stand out and it was very intentional. They were not the top ranked students, but the had the stats.[/quote]
