2024. None.

All full As. All 4 years.

Unhooked. RD acceptance.

Usually the kids with lowet grades apply ED whereas the tippy top kids do SCEA. You can get ED into Cornell with lowet grades but not in RD usually.

NP. OK, I wanted to help here, but your OP was kind of off putting with its requirement of only what you ask. You want help, but you are dictating how people offer it. Then, someone helps you, and you demand additional info after strict instructions to the contrary.

I helped 3 unhooked students into Ivies, but all these demands just rub me the wrong way.


Why did you even respond???


How did you help exactly, weirdo?

Yes, but they are mostly hooked — lots of URM, legacies, connected kids, athletes getting in with lower grades. Not a lot of unhooked kids, at least not at HYP.

He has several 3.8s over 4 years, but
our GPA is much harder than most ie a 96 is a 3.8. A 90 is a 3.5.

Unhooked in every way except from a known feeder.


Thanks!

Ivy acceptances do not just depend on grades.

You have to look at the whole application.

How many grades below a full A (so I am also asking about A- grades) and what were those grades (i.e. 3 A- and 1 B+)?

Please - please don't feel the need to answer something I'm not asking or adding information I am not asking. I'm only looking for this specific information. Thanks.
