Hope this helps: Some anecdotal color: A few years ago, two kids from the same IB program at Foothill High School were admitted from my interview list of ~20. The remaining ~18 IUSD kids were all rejected. Doesn't mean a whole lot or maybe you can take away a morsel of something. YMMV.

So funny. Very hilarious stuff!

I would tell you if I thought it would help your kid?s chances. But since I didn?t have a kid with you, it doesn?t. 5-6% acceptance rate across all ivies for class of 2025. The reality is after legacies, athletes, the geniuses, the well-connected, the ?stories? (aka first gens/hardship...

And again as if right on cue, and just like that, enters the projection expert known as Mety (aka bones).

Dude dude dude. I never said anything that would elicit a response about percentages among colleges. Neither from bones nor you!!!!!!!

Damn it, eyephone. If I give you the benefit of the doubt, then you must be in collusion with bonesy (you guys all go way back to something like 2013). In which case, I will go into that politics thread and team up with Kaos (after first designing my own logo) against you. I swear I'll do it...

Something not right...I smell fishy stuff..or dummy stuff. Right zubs, I'd rather take everything lightheartedly. I just couldn't help but sense bones was playing with me. If I come to that conclusion, then it's gonna be equal and opposite reaction. And as if right on cue, in comes eyephone...

LOL. Yes, but why mention that? What in my quoted posts elicited that response? That response, in context, is basically word salad. Which is wonderful stuff from schizophrenics.

In case anyone is confused, this is the Martian head scratcher. Super presumptuous? Or earnestly disconnected?

Yeah. At least there was some humor.

I am nice to people here. I've shown that pattern. One time some guy was being a smartass to me, so I barked back. I wait until I see a pattern of negativity directed at me. And you've passed that threshold with an A+. I've stated before that I'm here to help people with their homes, flooring...

Oh, I forgot about the last part of your post, Bones. Why did you give me the statistics on Ivy League schools? I'm confused about that one (in addition to I don't get what telling me your medical school has anything to do with my son getting into the ivory tower!) Are you sure you posted to...

You would tell me which medical school you went to if...? Don't you worry about getting my kid into whatever school! I will take care of that myself! It seems I didn't get everything wrong, other than I assumed you were male. Apparently, you ARE a doctor (unless the forum veterans way back...

Sorry, my bad.

Harvard is an Ivy League that is not overrated. If Bones interviews for Harvard, he went there for undergrad. His call name is Bones, suggesting he's a medical doctor. So what medical school did you go to, Bones?

I would choose Beckman over all Irvine high schools for superior public high school.

But this board is filled with people who move into the IUSD specifically in order to get their child into Berkeley and UCLA. That is the level of their aspiration. On another note, no one should be moving into IUSD to try to maximize chances of getting into Berkeley or UCLA. If that's all...

I got this! You're talking about U. Penn.

What were the 2 admitted into?

These schools are notorious for super-elevated GPA. Even worse, colleges know! If your goal is to get rejected by the top colleges even though you have straight-A's, then by all means enroll. However, if your child hates studying, you can enroll him in a Catholic high school as a strategy.
