[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder whether some of the problem is that between the affirmative action ruling and Trump, colleges are getting very antsy about admitting kids based on connections or presentation or other hard-to-quantify things and are putting more weight on test scores and grades, which are two things private schools have a harder time helping with.[/quote] I think this is partially true. I also think that the internet has made it easier for: (1) elite colleges to access top quality students at less well-known schools/lower income brackets, and (2) students to learn what it takes to get into a top college (SAT prep, ECs, etc), info that was previously primarily accessible at a private school[/quote]
