[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has a 3.75 uw, 1500+, with near-maximum rigor at a top private feeder. High impact ECs and excellent writing. They're applying to health & society/public health and adjacent majors as a non-pre-med. Aiming for a T20 (non-HYPSM) -- do they have good chances? All anecdotes/feedback/input is appreciated![/quote]

So your kid doesn't care if they attend Brown, with an open curriculum, or Columbia, with very rigid multi-disciplinary requirements? They don't distinguish between Dartmouth's small and remote location versus Chicago's urban location? Or Harvard's Semester system to Northwestern's Quarter system? Maybe look at those and other  attributes rather than "T20"[/quote]

Most of the T20, include WAS in that group, are schools on target lists for MBB and other top jobs. 
The same schools are the ones overrepresented at T14 law, T25 med, and top5 phD programs in various fields(tends to be ivy/MIT/stanford/NW/Chicago/ cambridge/oxford, UCB, Mich, even for tech phD).  
Most of the T20 are also the schools with pre-TO median SAT around 1500 or higher, ie most competitive peer groups. Faculty tend to have the highest% of undergrad and/or phD from top schools, thus connected. 
No, Brown v Columbia curriculum or city vs rural setting does not matter much when the goal is the network and outcomes.[/quote]
