[quote=Anonymous]Re: personality types getting in to Ivies: My kid is already seeing this play out at his large, suburban high school. Kids in the top STEM track (roughly top 5% academically) normally get into some top schools, with maybe 4 or 5 Ivies accepting 1 or 2 of those kids. Legacy also plays a role here as we are in an area with a top private and have our share of professor's kids who attended Ivies. This year they have one person who swept all the top Ivies + Stanford. She took all the rigorous STEM classes + did all the popular girl clubs with leadership, school rep, that kind of thing. Wrote about being a member of a [religious/ethnic group] + member of [different ethnic group] surviving in male-dominated spaces. There will probably be fewer Ivy acceptances at his school this year since she [ironically?) dominated that particular space.[/quote]
