[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, this is very obvious.  In the 21st century it is not the priority of top Ivy League colleges to open the doors to graduates of rich and fancy prep schools. Their priorities are elsewhere. Anyone who thinks that sending their kid to a big three gives them an edge is about two decades behind the Times.

Colleges are a business—now and forever. It is absolutely the priority of highly selective colleges to admit wealthy, well prepared private school students.  They will falter if they become a true meritocracy.  That’s why need aware has made a resurgence. Full pay is also a hook.[/quote]

You are clueless. We are talking about Ivy League colleges. They are not need aware. They have more money than God.[/quote]

“Admitting a high proportion of private school students serves elite universities’ interests. During and after college, graduates from private schools are likely to outperform their public school peers. For example, in 2020, The Daily Princetonian reported, two-thirds of Princeton’s American Rhodes scholars attended private high schools, and the Association of Boarding Schools bragged in 2010 that its alumni are “3,000 percent more likely” to become Rhodes scholars than the average student. Prestigious postgraduate scholarships — or fancy postgraduation jobs — can help make a college more attractive to its deep-pocketed alumni and the next crop of prospective students.”
