[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Editors of the school newspaper. Legacies. Athletes. Especially weird ones like Crew. Or URM that has an amazing story and stats to back it up.[/quote] Or just URM. Double points if URM at a feeder private. I was curious to see if the Supreme Court stuff would impact admissions for AA kids from DC's high school, and it did not. High stats URM did far better than unhooked high stats white (and especially Asian kids). Harvard and Stanford took the two top AA kids in the grade. DC happens to be good friends with both these kids (small school) and I'm fairly certain neither were secretly sitting on big awards or top GPAs. Race was the hook. It is what it is. (My kid didn't apply to H or S, so no sour grapes here).[/quote]
