How did TT schools do with college admissions this year?

Apparently one of the most competitive years because of the birth rate.

Check instagram. Generally pretty well.

They always do well. Anecdotally, my friend’s kid who is in top 10% of their school and is unhooked is going to a WASP (Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Pomona) liberal arts school and was shut out of T20 schools.

Dalton only has a handful of decisions up. >40% are ivies. >50% are ivies + duke.

Riverdale very impressive. Just don't know if any of those are unhooked.

Trinity has more than half up. exactly 50% ivies.

I read on the college forum that Spence has 7 or 8 out of 60 going to Harvard

I would love to see the stats on how many are hooked. Still super impressive but that has a big influence.

When we applied to privates we made a point of name dropping our alma maters and that we are fairly active. Not sure if it mattered (I know it didn't at one top school) but doesn't hurt.

IIRC, most private school applications ask where the parents went to college and graduate school, so no need to even name drop. They already know!

I don't think we were asked in our apps, though not 100% sure on that. I wonder if they have people who google stalk to find out!

A number of them ask where you went to grade school too.

They most definitely ask on the apps.
