[quote=Anonymous] I don't quite get this thread. H/Y/P/S take a substantial number of kids who are ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in their high school class (go down a few more slots in a very large public school or prestigious private or where the kids are closely cropped together at the top) based on rigorous course loads and generally very high standardized tests. If you start there, then add one or two meaningful EC's, write a great essay, and get great recommendations, that's about all you can do -- and at that point if it works or not is out of the kid's hands. If a kid doesn't start with those academics, then I would argue almost be definition there must be a "hook" involved to get accepted -- and this thread is supposed to be about "unhooked" kids. .
