[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crazy that there are these pipeline schools. I’ve asked this before but why is that not considered a hook? Everyone’s upset about other hooks but no one mentions this as being a problem/unfair. [/quote]

[b]If it’s Chicago, it’s not really a hook. [/b]I’m the person that mentioned people get in ED at our school. [b]The kids getting in are very well qualified academically. Always top of the class in the hardest classes [/b]but are not athletes, URMs, or VIPs. They just actually stand a chance there whereas they typically don’t at most ivies save Cornell.[/quote]

But isn’t the fact that they stand a chance because of where they go to school a hook?  Sorry, your logic/justification doesn’t make sense to me. [/quote]

This is so not true. Most of the kids getting into Chicago from these elite private schools would absolutely not get into Chicago if they were at a public HS. I personally know several kids.[/quote]

What do you mean the kids you know would not get in from public?[/quote]
