[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in finance and most of my colleagues have got their kids in "TT" schools (I don't but it's a different story). The general profile of Brearley/Spence/Dalton parents is a bit different from HM's. B/S/D parents in my circle are primarily HYP legacies. HM parents are often immigrants or NYC "transplants" who are equally successful and well-off but who care less about HYP brand. They are fine with their kids ED'ing Chicago and minimizing stress associated with college applications. [/quote]

I know quite a few immigrants (from India, especially) at Dalton, who went to Ivies for grad school where legacy doesn't really count. All quite financially successful. I don't think Dalton cares as much about Ivy legacies. [/quote]

At Dalton K parent interview this year, we were specifically asked which colleges we attended. Same happened to almost all parents who interviewed at Dalton this year. We heard they like Harvard parents the most.[/quote]

Strange, during our interview, we weren’t asked and our kid’s at dalton now. I don’t think they care as much as people say.[/quote]

You have to fill this out as part of the application anyway so they don't need to ask; they already know and care very much. At these schools, it manifests more in who from admissions interviews you. We are unconnected and would often meet with an associate director or parent proxy interviewer, but came to notice that our parent friends who were double Ivy legacies themselves - albeit kids at same preschool - always interviewed with the head of admissions. Not true across the board, but certainly at the TTs that was the case.[/quote]
