[quote=Anonymous]My husband used to do admission work with a top 25 college on the east coast until last year, and tells our kids that US News has ruined top college admissions. Anyone who tells you that an elite high school will get you into an Ivy faster has no idea what they are talking about. Colleges are now into check-the-box categories and high GPA/SAT numbers to boost their US News ratings. I can't imagine "the Big 3" schools and others don't try their hardest to get very top students, so SSAT numbers and GPA will influence them. The privates all want good admission numbers, too, and also et ranked by US News. While HYP have lots of 2400 scorers to choose from, and might look at other things (do you have a compelling story, etc.), most really good schools try to attract top scorers. And the DC Independents know that! [/quote]
