[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school counselors have access to this function to identify “hooks”-at least in SCOiR-and they should be notifying parents!![/quote]

Someone posted a link last year to a guide Harvard Westlake gives parents of juniors/seniors and every school should aspire to do this. It provides stats for hooked and unhooked students who were accepted to various schools in the prior year’s admissions process (maybe multiple cycles, I can’t remember exact details now). I don’t understand why schools hold this info back when college matriculation is one of their main “selling points” and sharing this info will increase the likelihood of positive outcomes. [/quote]

Do you have the link? I’d like to send it to our private college counseling office.[/quote]

Think this it. Holy sh*t eye-opening.

The Harvard data for this school is not impressive at all. Once you take out legacy and recruited athlete. Eight admits out of 105 applications over the last three years?

Meanwhile in 2023,
14 to Harvard 
10 to Columbia 
9 to Stanford 
8 to Cornell 
7 to Penn 
6 to Brown 
5 to Yale.... and so on.

Does that mean - a lot of athletic recruits and legacy???

I would assume recruited athletes, legacy, donor/development families, URM, and possibly first gen are excluded. So what you’re really looking at are the stats for unhooked white and asian kids. And those kids are competing against their hooked peers for spots at top schools so they’re really at a disadvantage. [/quote]
Do they exclude kids of famous people? A ton of celebrities send their kids to this school.
