[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Phillips Academy Andover, the most elite prep school in America only got 4 kids into Harvard in 2025. In the class of 2023 12 kids got into Harvard. Similar trends are at other top schools with only 6 getting into Yale in 2025 and 12 getting in 2023. Only 4 matriculated to Penn in 2025 compared to 7 in 2023. Only 13 got into UChicago, compared to 21 getting into UChicago in 2023. The trend holds across most elite schools such as Northwestern, Duke, etc.

There seems to be serious anti-elite trends in college admissions. They clearly see these kids as "privileged" and are holding it against them. In this new era, you might just be better off sending your kid to public school.

It’s not serious anti-elites if colleges are holding these students to the same criteria as the rest of the applicant pool. Just because these students are no longer getting advantages or hook that they used to, don’t mean that elite colleges are seriously anti-private boarding schools. Now if acceptances to elite colleges fall consistently below the percentages of population of the target population for multiple years, then maybe you can claim there may be anti-elite bias.
