[quote=Anonymous]Family whose kids got into a Big 3 don’t have particularly special kids - kids are very middle of the road (preschool even counseled parents in one case that Big 3 would not be good environment for child). What they have in common: -Applied for earliest years when deficits are less obvious -Parent legacy (+ parents’ siblings attended) -Grandparents VIP adjacent -Donor family These kids will probably be totally middling students, like their parents, and get into a decent but unimpressive SLAC due again to family legacy and donations. They will then recreate the cycle by choosing stress free downwardly mobile careers and supplementing their incomes through trust funds. [/quote]
