[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]STAs most recent class placements are an interesting indication.  More than 20 out of the 80 or so kids went to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford and Chicago.  A bunch more went to Duke, Vandy, Penn, Cornell, Columbia and NYU.  When 50 or so out of 80 do that well ( and many of the others went to UNC, Michigan, Wash U, Amherst, and the like) there is something positive going on.  [/quote]
How many of them are legacies or donor admits? How many are athletic admits?[/quote]
A small percentage, just like at public schools.[/quote]

[b]I don't have that data,[/b] but  I would bet it would show that the share of legacy/donor/athletic admits are much higher in StAs than in public schools.   kids like that fencing admit whose dad paid a million dollar "donation" to the foundation of the Harvard fencing coach and bough the coach's house for 2x its market value and is now under investigation now.

Here's an interesting story story called:
43 Percent of White Students Harvard Admits Are Legacies, Jocks, or the Kids of Donors and Faculty
based on data from the recent Harvard lawsuit.
