[quote=Anonymous]Kids with 2200 SATs can get into Ivies while 2400s are rejected. 3.5 GPAs can get in while 3.9s are rejected. The schools look at the whole child (hooks, talents) and look at their needs as a college. Colleges definitely want students who will participate fully in the life of the school. Most of the kids who get into the Ivies at our Top 3 private are very smart (sometimes in different ways), normal kids who participate broadly in the life of the school. None, other than the athletes, have accomplishments like publishing cancer research. Of course, I am basing this only on my experience at my child's school. Kids and their families need to see Ivy league admissions as a game of chance.[/quote]
