[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There are more than 25,000 high schools in America. [/b]And 99 percent of 15 and 16 year olds have no say whatsoever about where they go to high school. For schools like Princeton to assume talent only comes from a few schools like Andover or Exeter or Dalton or Harvard-Westlake has always been ridiculous. To their discredit. I think they are belatedly catching up to reality and moving on from "traditional" feeders - about three decades too late. It's a big country with a lot of talent out there. And the prevalence of expensive feeder high schools is another reason why some of the Ivies have taken a big reputational hit in recent years. That's how you get mediocrity. And everyone has noticed. [/quote] You are aware that the vast majority of these 25,000 high school have an average sat of 1000, right? Feeder schools like Andover or Exeter or Dalton or Harvard-Westlake have 1500 and above, with a few at 1550. [/quote]
