[quote=Anonymous]I don't sense that MIT cares much whether their students went to public or private high schools. It's a very tough admit for anyone. And the usual hooks - wealth, legacy, athlete - don't go that far at MIT. Even the athletes need to have the brains to get through the General Institute Requirements - biology, chemistry, physics, math etc.

Yale is really looking to improve in STEM, especially engineering. Yale has never been a go-to school for those interested in engineering. But they want those students now, which I suspect favors public school students, who tend to have a stronger background in math compared to private school students.

Dartmouth is very small. There are only a few hundred spots available for unhooked students. The difference between public and private acceptances is going to be marginal.

Harvard definitely favors private school students. Princeton is increasingly a barbell school - wealthy private on one side and FGLI on the other. And no one knows what Stanford is doing these days. Lottery for everyone. [/quote]
