Do admissions officers see your name?

Chance Me / Match Me

<p>in a bit if a weird situation…</p>

<p>a group of three students used to bully me so i eventually told the principal and they were all suspended. they basically still bother me but its pretty obvious they hate me</p>

<p>their parents even met with mine to say something of the sort that i did something wrong. anyway…</p>

<p>3 of the 6 parents work in (insert local ivy university) admissions (i know…ew)</p>

<p>can that hurt me in any way? i know i cant do anything but for peace of mind, do admissions officers see your name?</p>

<p>Yes, I believe that they do see the name</p>

<p>Yeah… but there are many, many other great colleges to choose from. Go ahead and apply to that colleges, but it could hurt you at that one. So make up a list of matches, a couple of safeties, and a few reaches that are a good fit for you and don’t worry about this one.</p>

<p>How badly do you want to get into this particular school and how viable a candidate would you be?</p>

<p>This might be worth a shot (a longshot, but a shot nonetheless).</p>

<p>Have your guidance counselor include a letter with your transcript detailing the entire situation and requesting (by name) that the particular parents involved not participate in reviewing your application due to a conflict of interest.</p>

<p>It could backfire, but if your chance of admission is a longshot anyway you have nothing to lose.</p>

<p>the school is yale and my chances are great (URM-mexican, 2300+ SAT, Intel science fair, 3.99GPA, etc.)</p>

<p>i think my chances are good considering the RD lists ive looked at here-not to sound cocky or anything </p>

<p>I think you’re “qualified”.
Unless you’re a recruited athlete or legacy, you’re chances are not “great.”
But… they are pretty darn good.
I think you really should try the letter from the guidance counselor.</p>

<p>I would hope that adcoms at an ivy league school are professional enough to treat applicants equally based on their applications.</p>

<p>Also, they are admissions “committees” for a reason. One person can’t shoot down your application. </p>

<p>I would say your chance of getting into Yale is very low, but the good news is that there are a lot of other great schools. </p>

<p>Of course they would see your name. Even if they didn’t, they would see your profile. Adcoms google applicants all the time.</p>
