So maybe Yale is the wrong place for the kid. Majoring in history there (or another 25 things) is going to be a HELLUVA lot of work if all the kid wants to do is to join a frat or secret society and play beer pong. So do your homework. Make sure the “reputation” is aligned with what your kid actually wants out of his or her education.

What do the students who got admitted with the biggest hook boosts (e.g. huge development relation) do? The same can be said at any college that has a “highly rigorous” reputation, but where some students get admitted with major hook boosts.
