[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is interesting to me is this.  The unhooked top kids with GPA 4.3 and above, so the best of the best at the best school in LA:
Applied/accepted

Amherst 13/7
Brown 66/7
Columbia 61/9
Dartmouth 35/4
Duke 25/6
Emory 14/4
Georgetown 40/27
Harvard 70/7
Jhu 26/4
MIT 42/3
Middlebury 5/0
Northwestern 46/4
Princeton 53/4
Stanford 59/5
Tufts 29/7
Vanderbilt 16/1
Williams 16/4
Yale 67/12
Wash u st L 34/6

It sucks to be a top unhooked kid at these elite privates.

It’s hard to gather information from this chart unless you have an additional column of how many hooked students there are. Last year 14 HW students matriculated to Harvard and 51 have in the past 5 years.

4 to Stanford last year and 31 in last 5 years.

And these are matriculation numbers not acceptance numbers. It seems worse if you ate at a rigorous private with so many hooked applicants.

So the 51 to Harvard, only 7 unhooked kids over 3 years were admitted so let’s double that and say 14 unhooked kids got in over 5 year and ALL attended - only 14 of the 51 who went to Harvard were unhooked admits.   That’s reality and it sucks for the smart unhooked kids.  [/quote]

Harvard has made it clear that it is primarily a school for the already connected and/or the ultrarich. Its brand is its elitism, and by elite they do not mean the top students, they mean exclusivity. [/quote]
