<p>For example, I've heard that UPenn obsesses over top 10%, while Harvard hypes up great test scores and Princeton loves legacies. Is there any truth to these rumors or do they all pretty much share the same holistic admissions process?</p>
<p>sigh… rumor mills about Ivy school stereotypes. Really, this is a fool’s errand. what YOU need to do is to craft YOUR best profile, once you decide which suite of colleges fit you best.</p>
Agree with the above statement but stereotypes usually exist for a reason. I think it is true that Penn cares more about he 10%thing and also about extracurricular activities and leadership positions while harvard and Princeton place a little bit more importance on scores. Also all of the Ivies love legacies and I know for a fact hat penn really does ( the ED acceptance rate is insanely high at Penn–ED is where legacies are considered)
