[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is a senior at a big 3 and is interested in HYP. 35 ACT, 3.9 unweighted most rigorous classes. No hook, but has played an instrument since first grade (no awards). We're full pay and she's thinking women's/gender studies  :roll: . Chances? We are making her come up with some safeties but she has her heart set on HYP.[/quote]

should have played a sport.[/quote]

I don't think the sport makes a big difference unless you're good enough to get recruited.[/quote]

But with a decent resume like the OP's DD, playing a sport at a high level would help.  [/quote]

Not everyone can play sports at a high level. It's not a question of snapping your fingers and boom, you're an athlete.

I know recruiting for sports at the Ivies is controversial but even I acknowledge we're talking about kids who likely have put in far more hours and dedication to their sports than most of the bright Ivy qualified applicants did to their non sport hook areas. [/quote]

maybe these athletes should spend less time on their sports and more time on their academics, then.  because right now, they've got the lowest academic ratings.[/quote]

Huh. Athletes generally get high gpas in college. [/quote]

1. They don’t 
2. We are talking about admissions. They are the least academically qualified group of admitted students. [/quote]

Yes they do. They usually have the highest GPAs on campus as a group. [/quote]

Woo hoo!  With their communications and sociology majors.  🙄[/quote]

Communications is an excellent major. [/quote]

Does HYP even offer comms as a major?[/quote]
