[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Is there a way to workaround how the private schools that prioritize families with hooks (recruited athletes, legacies, etc). or are the rest of us just have to deal with what's left after those hooked families?[/quote] What do you mean workaround?? Those priorities are always there. Maybe the best thing you do is not apply to a college where a lot of legacies exist at your school?[/quote] That was my question - I guess at one of those private schools with these priorities, the kids that DON'T have any hooks just have to settle for the lesser schools?[/quote] What do you mean by "lesser schools"? If your school has a lot of HYPS legacies, I wouldn't personally waste a REA there. Esp if your kid is strongly interested in another school (that has ED) like Brown, Dartmouth, or XYZ as a 2nd choice AND would be a strong applicant.[/quote]
