Ivy League success stories? People who took a shot at them and got in?

Does anyone know anyone who took a chance at the Ivys and got in? You know when our college guidance counselors say “A person with a 2400 can get rejected but a person with a 1900 can get accepted” Anyone know that person “with the 1900” ?

Plenty actually, URM, recruited athletes who are accepted at HYP and at times MIT (URM). See the consolidated decisions thread for each school.

It’s possible, but I’d like my chances better with a 2400 than a 1900…
