[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an Unhooked kid at Ivy this year who did his own applications. No private counselor, etc. He had a fairly typical app for a kid with uw4.0 and high test scores. But, his essays were awesome. He’s a very good creative writer. He did a ton of community service and at a fairly high level in his sport (not recruited). He was accepted to several T10s-T20s so I have no idea what ultimately stood out for all of them. I’m certain he likely had very good recommendations as well. He was well-liked by teachers. He’s not at all like the stereotypes being thrown around here, nor are his friends and roommate I met when visiting. Nice group of kids. They seem typical of most kids. [/quote] But now the few bad apples make the whole cohort "sus."[/quote]
