[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, while I may know nothing about the ten Sidwell kids going to Yale, you are never going to convince me that the majority did not have any kind of family connection or hook.      [/quote]

Sorry if the truth hurts.  Sidwell is full of well connected families and Ivy League legacies.  That none of the ten Yalies have any?  Laughable.[/quote]

Know the kids well.  Two are is legacies, sorry.  Playing against type, four are Harvard legacies.  Four are Presidential Scholarship semi-finalists.  Five were multiple sports team captains.  Two were the consistent stars of the musicals.  One was the Editor of the school newspaper.  Three were URMs, each with overlap in two of the preceding categories.  Only a few come from a families of significant means.  All are exceptional students with at least one national-level strength: debate national finalist, published author, math team champion.  Each of the group that applied to more than just Yale, was accepted by at least one of Harvard, MIT or Stanford as well.  Put together the Venn diagram with overlapping strengths and you will not conclude that legacy and influence were the driving factors.  [/quote]
