[quote=Anonymous]There are more than 26,000 high schools in the US. The talent base is very, very broad in America. It has always been absurd that highly selective universities were reserving so many seats for privileged students from a handful of expensive private schools. It's not 1925 anymore. Those kind of admissions were a Gilded Age anachronism. Today, talent is elsewhere, and moving beyond the old feeder schools has long been overdue. But looking at the chart, the Andover students are still doing fine at schools like BU, NYU, and Tufts, which are all very good schools. College placement shouldn't be the goal of private school anyway. [/quote]
