[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Describe the kid who genuinely belongs at HPY, minus the hooks. In other words, who is the genuine admit? And, please, don’t say tough courses, good grades, great test scores. That’s obvious. I’m looking for a type of individual. [/quote]

There were few in my children's friend groups, intelligent, passionate, compassionate, upright, hard working, intellectual, talented, involved, genuinely outstanding with applications, , ECs, awards, and LORs to reflect all that. None of them got into any ivy. Luckily, all got accepted into other T20 colleges with scholarships.

Only drawbacks they had was being East or South Asians and applying from large and competitive public high school and being middle class. One common trait was not being overly obsessed with grades, ranks and colleges but having straight priorities to be good and do good for others. We thought, they were ideal candidates for ivies, at least what ivy admission officers seems to look for but clearly quota system takes precedence.[/quote]
