[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, normal smart kids are getting into Ivy and T30, even from our public. We're not in a district where families game the system - kids are doing their sports and their ECs and enjoying their high school lives. The Ivy and Stanford kids are great students + interesting kids. [/quote]

Tell this to superstar kids having max scores and national awards that did not get accepted to any ivy league schools but to top stem schools. Ivy schools have a questionable admission process that favors legacies and private school kids. Obviously, there are exceptions but not many.[/quote]

I get your point as there are many kids who don't get in.. I didn't say all the superstar kids get in. :D

But I will say, it's not always the max score/academic superstars who are getting into HYPS from our public. I'm the PP. Those max score/max AP kids tend to go to Cornell, Hopkins, Northwestern, UCLA. So far we have 10 kids who have announced that they are headed to an Ivy out of 400 students (and more to Top 30 schools). But at our school 25% head to 2 year colleges and 10% to the military/trades. So not sure it's fair to compare apples to apples to private schools that are test in and only have 100 students. If we take the top 100 from our school, then that's 10% headed to Ivies and not everyone has announced yet. [/quote]

Where/which high school? Sounds dubious.[/quote]
