[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course. It’s good PR for the school and the families are uber rich. In general elite college admissions favor the extremely wealthy and the extremely disadvantaged. You are most disadvantaged (from a college admissions perspective) as an UMC kid who is neither. There was a NYT article about it somewhat recently. [/quote] I think that's overstating it a bit. If your family is well known in the NYT type circles for whatever reason, even if they are not uber-wealthy, I think you also get a leg up. As in: if you would be featured in the weddings section of the NYT because your parents are well known, your chances of getting into well-known schools is better.[/quote]
