Ivy admissions are all about backstory, interview and alumni sponsorship
It makes me sad that people put their heads on their pillows at night and truly believe this.
Of course connections help - welcome to the real world.
But if you’re qualified and stand out above the rest, you’re in. If you aren’t accepted, you’re not at the level that you thought you were.

Admissions at that level are all 4.3+ GPA, 34+ ACT
The girl going to Columbia is one of my daughters best friends. We have watched the process up close. The Rice girl is also a close friend
The line about backstory, interview and alumni sponsorship is not mine, it was from the senior counselor
In Houston if you have the academic criteria for The Elite Schools the counselor will match you to local alumni and they will interview you. Then they will choose to sponsor you, or not
There are paid advisors in Houston that will manage the Elite Admissions process for you as well for a stiff fee
This thread isn’t supposed to be about Ivy schools, it is about Texas universities
