[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No kid should be having their heart set on Harvard. Unless have a hook, the odds just simply are not good. -- Mom of 2023 grad who did all the things a rejected / waitlist at all Ivy applied too (on IQ tests he is a genius too)[/quote] +1 and I actually got in decades ago. (top everything). My kid wanted Princeton and had all the stats, ECs, and faculty support (deferred SEA; waitlisted)). Deferred at Harvard where I am a legacy but no buildings in name. Waitlisted at Yale notwithstanding two more legacies and immediate relative on faculty. He had everything but not URM or first generation. OP, please tell your kid that admission is now at 4% at all of these schools, if not hooked. Ivy day was very sad in our household. But Cambridge took him based on merit!. Look to Canada or overseas.[/quote]
