[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High stat DC got into an Ivy this year. -not a legacy -not an athlete -not an URM -not a faculty kid -public school (not TJ) -no crazy national/international awards Just got super super lucky.[/quote] Stats and major?[/quote] 1580, 4.6 weighted, Engineering[/quote] Very impressive, congrats to your DC on getting in for one of the toughest majors. Essays must have been excellent![/quote] The sad thing is the assumption that a kid with these stats wouldn't normally get in without a hook. Back in the day they would have sailed in![/quote] Test prep culture has considerably cheapened the value of a 1580. [/quote] Nah. The rich attend fancier schools with vast amounts of resources and do better on such tests. Did you think they were born smart? Test prep, if it worked, would be an equalizer. [/quote]
