[quote=Anonymous]Not everyone at an Ivy is a prodigy — the class of kids from all Ivies in a given year is big enough that you have some differentiation. Taking athletics and the URM factor out of the equation, over the years I have seen American third culture kids applying from abroad and well-pedigreed rich kids who are bright but not brilliant be the main types that get in while being solid, great kids but not knock-your-socks-off impressive. Separately, there is a bucket of kids who were just pushed so much by parents that it’s all a show and no real drive or interest. They don’t impress me and I feel sorry for them. [/quote]
