<p>This might seem like an odd situation, i'm assuming its not very common.
My Father is a professor in a business school of an Ivy (not sure if i should say which one) I am currently a junior and i had a very very intense internship this last summer working for the Business school's IT group, i was very liked in the internship and i was offered to return the summer of my junior year. How much will these factors affect the admissions decision of the School? (assuming i have VERY strong recommendations from my boss in the internship.) </p>
<p>If they took every profs kids they’d have no room for anyone else. Like every other hooked/tipped category, it depends on the strength of the hook–in short, whether your dad is a prof with pull. He would be the best judge of this.</p>
<p>Then we’d need to know more about you. Where does your 91% put you rank wise?</p>
<p>And is this Harvard or Yale where the 2200 is low, or Cornell/Penn where it’s solidly at median for most schools?</p>
<p>My School does not calculate rank unfortunately so i cannot help you much.
but i go to a hyper competitive public school i am taking 2 APs this year with (and some college classes 2nd semester)
the 2200 was taken as a sophomore and i plan on scoring higher this time around.</p>
<p>“How much will these factors affect the admissions decision of the School?”</p>
<p>Pretty much an unanswerable question. The very few people who actually know this (the ones on the admissions committee of the Ivy you are talking about) are not telling.</p>
<p>You can console yourself with the following thoughts: 1) It’s better to be a candidate like yourself with the parental connection to a professional school at the Ivy, than to be a similar candidate without the parental connection.</p>
<p>2) Your father’s ties have already helped you greatly, by getting you (or helping to get) the internship at which you excelled. I imaging that that internship will be reflected in your application, whether through add’l reference letters, or through some essay answers…</p>
<p>I have known the children of professional school deans to be admitted to Ivy’s with far less competitive applications than normal…not so much the children of professors without such stellar positions. However, your application can stand on it’s own merits, and your family connection can only help (even if only a very little bit). Chill.</p>
