[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend has a daughter who has always been smart and gifted. Family never pushes her to do anything she doesn’t want to do. She has no extracurricular activities besides enjoying writing and drawing. I don’t think she has any competitions or awards. Both parents attended public state schools. Can a girl like this get into any top schools? UVA?[/quote] No for top schools in general -- except with extreme luck. [b]Or URM status. [/b][/quote] URM is a hook, it isn't a free pass that is less exceptional and active than other applicants. Please just stop.[/quote] It is a hook, but it is not less exceptional? Wut? That is almost the definition of a hook: If you have the hook you can be less exceptional and get in..[/quote]
