[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've watched admissions for several years now and I can assure you all that it's not the traditionally smartest who get into HPY etc. Each year, most of the spots at those schools are filled by athletes and legacies. The strong athlete with a B+ average always trumps the unhooked A student. The A students go to middlebury, Williams, Amherst and end up very happy and successful. [/quote] Uh, no. With smaller student bodies, more of the spots are filled by athletes and legacies at schools like Amherst and Williams. You have it completely backwards, but maybe it makes you feel better.[/quote] Why the snark? I was just saying what I have observed. I still have another year before starting the process with my own children.[/quote]
