[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on where your HS sends kids and assumes they are at the very top of their class.  At our HS the very best unhooked kids like yours can get into Northwestern, Chicago, Cornell, Penn and we do okay with Yale, but not H or P. Also CMU, Michigan and Georgetown.  No one ever gets into Dartmouth, Columbia, Brown or Duke, per Naviance scattergrams no matter how high stats are. [/quote]

To me those stats are amazing.  My DC is (currently) in the top 10 in this class and doesn't have stats anywhere near that...ANYWHERE near that, which makes me think most of those above him do not as well.  (And he's a smart and hardworking kid...but its just not something that is at all common here).  But I digress.

My question is why is it that those schools you named don't ever take kids from your kids' school?  I know it is a lottery for the top schools but if it were a true lottery you would think some kids would have been selected over the years?  Is it because those schools only look at hooked and/or because they only focus on certain schools?  [/quote]
