[quote=Anonymous]Remember that where kids go on to college is more representative of the child/family than the school. So many of the kids going to the Ivy League have parents who attended and who may be donors - there is also a lot of generational legacy status. There are more families at my child’s school than I can count with two Ivy parents, or double Ivy degrees, and most of them also happy to be wealthy/full pay. Also, the larger schools have more openings in the upper grades for highly recruited students - those spots are filled with the best of the best (and includes URM and Prep for Prep kids, who have compelling stories). Factor out the legacies and the URM students, and the schools would look more similar than not in terms of college admissions.[/quote]
