[quote=Anonymous]If you live in a highly overrepresented area, and your kid is a member of an overrepresented background in terms of ethnicity and is privileged (but not so privileged as to be from the donor class), then national recognition in an area important to the school is very helpful in securing admission to a super-selective college. I state this not to encourage parents to push their kids in unfortunate ways but rather to have realistic expectations of what kinds of colleges are most likely going to be within reach. I saw so many families touring Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia and knew there was no what that was going to happen. Especially these cycles it’s a lot better to choose the early school wisely.
