I know of 4 not 5 going to Harvard and all 4 fall into the legacy/urm/athlete category (excellent students regardless).

The 5th took a gap year but will be class of 2026 at Harvard.

Congrats to all these wonderful students! Let’s get this thread to 100 pages.


Is this accurate? How do you know? Insta page does not reflect this..


Insta pages are less than half the class.

The PP who cited general class numbers is accurate to my count as well. I have over 100 going to Ivies, top SLACs, "top 25's" and top publics.

Of the balance, there are very specific reasons who kids choose schools - scholarships, programs, etc. It turned out to be a great class with wonderful, motivated kids challenged to be a part of the solution of our societal woes.

Were you at graduation? I loved it when the speaker specifically told these students that they are NOT responsible for fixing the world.

I have a DC in this class. I thought It was 4 students going to Harvard not 5.


It's actually 3.

Focus on an extracurricular/sport. And this kid is brilliant and near or at the top of the class but a H legacy as well.
