[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both schools are hard. Your child is very unlikely to get into an Ivy from either of them without hooks. [/quote] I suspect the reason so many kids from GDS go to Ivies is because they have hooks - most likely of the legacy variety. They also have the resources to hire independent college counselors who know how to game the system. Also admissions counselors evaluate students based their school’s unique profile. So your kid won’t be compared to kids from other schools - they’ll be compared to kids from their own school. If a 3.5 is considered high achieving at GDS, college counselors will know that. [/quote]
