[quote=Anonymous]We have two buckets of kids who go to HYP from our (nyc private) high school: 1) legacy + donor (or major donor w/o legacy) and 2) FGLI with sky high stats, most rigor and deep and impressive ECs. On paper, you would find both groups very impressive on the EC front (though the GPA/scores of former group are not high as the latter). But the former group, at least from our high school, has had their ECs curated from middle school if not earlier. They've had private tutors and coaches most of their lives and they work with high priced college counselors. And they are very polished, so present extremely well. We have plenty of Harvard legacies who are rejected from our school - but not one of them belongs to a family who has donated significant money to the school. Taken as a whole, are most of the HYP kids impressive? Yes, but for different reasons IME.[/quote]
