<p>lol both sides are right </p>
<p>connections aren’t that important…unless they are amazing connections </p>
<p>upper east siders, for example, most are in the same boat…the tiny connections they have aren’t really taken into account </p>
<p>but then last year…this girl from my school…she was the niece of a board of trustee for another ivy applied to that school…lol 3.5GPA 2000 SATs, her activities included cooking club and working out everyday </p>
<p>so yaa in very rare instances…if u have connections like that…u can get in with significantly lower stats</p>
