[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why it rubs people wrong, but the fact is UVA is more prestigious in the eyes of Andover graduates than a UNC or Michigan or UCLA.

You can debate why they might be misguided, but it is a fact that the graduates do think that.[/quote]
I’m confused on how anyone is extrapolating this. What if Berkeley or UCLA or Michigan just don’t accept Andover grads at the rate UVA does? What if the other state schools were all rejected for ivies. So much narrative fitting.[/quote]

Re UCLA and Berkely, might be bias against Andover by UC admissions and/or bias against UC by Andover families.  California likes public schools and UC admissions might not view Andover different than any public school.  UC is test blind so the 1480 average(!) SAT at Andover doesn't distinguish the students.  On other hand, very affluent families don't like UCLA and Berkeley that much.  Those 2 schools have the lowest % of very affluent people in T20.

Michigan is different.  They will consider SAT score.  Michigan is also a lot more popular with very affluent families.[/quote]
