Schools are even less likely to take very good but not amazing applicants from the NYC area (it is more competitive than DC comparatively). The hooks are even more important. They do have a similar trend of high stats rich kids without hooks heading to UChicago over the last several years.

Impressive for mid stats IMO!
If you are oos, mid stats don't get you into UCLA, Cal. That's hilarious.
My high stats CS Major DC from a magnet program was rejected at UCLA and Cal. They are at UMD.
