[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The parents school are the biggest indicator of who gets in where.[/b] For the most part kids are following in their parents footsteps, if you went to an Ivy your kid will end up at the equivalent school or slightly lower. In our community, I haven’t see a senior end up at a school ranked higher than their parent’s alma mater .[/quote] This is interesting. And weirdly right. And looking at our private and the outcomes, it is actually pretty accurate. The kids who are going to large Flagships had parents who went to large Flagships. The kids who are going to lower tier Ivies had parents who went to Duke or Northwestern and they did not get in as legacy. Fascinating- will need to see if I find an exception…. [/quote]
