[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless the alumni interviewer saw the files of every AZ BASIS grad (not just the ones who applied to her particular alma mater) she can't know the answer to this question.

OK, but an Ivy interviewer who talks to a good many top kids from both BASIS AZ campuses and serious STEM programs in this area (public and private) over a number of years can pick up on admissions trends.  [/quote]

BASIS AZ (and DC) - admission via lottery

Serious STEM programs and private schools -- selective admissions

Apples and oranges.[/quote]

Apples and oranges?  These are all kids with strong STEM backgrounds, mostly high SES and not legacies of recruited athletes, applying to one Ivy from one of two narrowly defined geographic regions.

Sounds to me like their applications would wind up in the same pots.  You can call them apples and oranges, for whatever that's worth, but I doubt the Ivy would see things that way.
