[quote=Anonymous]I find the "assuming they're qualified on their own merits' thing a thin argument. Admissions Deans at T10 schools regularly say, most of our pool is qualified. Or, we could throw out the admitted class and reenroll a new class 3 times over and not drop in quality. Etc So for every hooked kid - athlete, legacy, URM, etc - it's about the feather on the scale. My kids are at a top feeder in NYC and every kid at Princeton and Dartmouth and Harvard this year and last were questbridge, legacy, URM, mega donor, celeb or athlete. I can think of one at Yale who was just cracked, but others all hooked. You really need to move away from HYP and Dartmouth if unhooked. Our counselors are pretty clear about this. Brown, Cornell, Penn, MIT, Stanford .. all more willing to take an unhooked. Move down to ND (who love legacy), BC, Georgetown, Emory, Vandy, JHU . much easier .. you need to start considering the ED play around this level[/quote]
