I’m saying that in order to stand out to the point you remove luck as a significant part of the equation, or as we like to toss around here, to be a solid admit, you have to have an experience well outside the parameters of what would be considered a normal childhood. That has a cost.



In that case I know a lot of very lucky kids. Because not a SINGLE ONE of the recent Ivy admits I know fits your description. NOT ONE.

BTW, I have always viewed the USNWR ratings askance. I can’t remember the last time I looked at them. We certainly did not take them into account when developing S’s application list.
