[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a)recruited athlete plus good grades/scores
b) URM plus good grades/scoresc
c) legacy plus good grades/scores

OR
d) close to perfect grades/scores and [b]something else remarkable.  [/b]

If you're not a, b or c you need a stellar academic record plus something else that sets you apart from the crowd.  Something that makes you remarkable.

e) family has extraordinary wealth. (Such that they are capable of 7- or 8-digit donations.) Plus good grades/test scores. [/quote]

[b]You say this on every thread. It is not the wealth itself that gets the kid accepted, it is the wealth that gives the kid access to things that get them accepted. We know one family who decided their 5th grade DD should set up a charity in Malawi building school huts. So they invested in that and that's what she does every summer. It wasn't her idea, or her cash, but she did it and it will probably impress at least one admissions person.[/quote][/b]

DP. For legacy status to count, you need to give Harvard seven figures.[/quote]

15% of each class is legacy. These people are not all giving seven figures. [/quote]
