[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you seen selective college admissions “just work out” where it appears to happen by luck or easily for an apparently underwhelming candidate? I keep hearing stories of lower Ivy admits (and other private T25) for seniors who had meh grades (3.75-3.85uw) and so-so scores (33-34) ending up at places like Cornell, WashU, Vanderbilt, Rice, Emory, USC - from private high schools. How does this happen unexpectedly? Is the kid just a stealth achiever? Or did a pricey admissions counselor manufacture a story? Or a secret VIP? Truly curious.[/quote] Maybe their LOR highlighted their impeccable character. Maybe their essays showed their out of the box thinking. I would never resign a kid who managed to nab any of the Ivies as underwhelming or going through the backdoor of admissions. That's just sourgraping.[/quote]
