Maybe, maybe not. Private schools have a bit of a stigma now, in this anti-elite, inclusive shift.  I would save the money as there isn’t a big difference in career outcomes from the bottom performer at private vs. high performer at public…[/quote]

Um, that’s what the media and there PR engines of the schools would like to have you believe.

In reality, nearly every 40% of each Ivy League class comes from a private. This, despite the fact that there only 10% of all high school students attend private schools.

All those woke idiots celebrating the elimination of SATs and ACTs as requirements?  Guess what?  Holistic admissions is what was used to exclude Jewish students from the Ivies for decades.  Higher achieving Jewish kids were denied admission in favor of more likable WASPs.

Standardized testing was introduced to set a more objective standard for admissions.

Without it, you can expect more privileged kids to be admitted.

Forget Asian American kids. The quota restraining their admissions regardless of accomplishments will remain constant. [/quote]
Thanks for this. A lot of people don’t seem to understand that test optional is not for increasing diversity. It’s for allowing the schools to [b][/b]admit low performing donor kids without hurting their stats. [/quote][b]

No, it has nothing to do with legacies. It has to do with discrimination against top performing Asian American students. Read The Chronicle of Higher Education. Since the Harvard suit, schools have been looking for a way to ignore test scores when they are inconvenient. This who movement is about that suit. If you don’t look at scores (like the UC system) the. You don’t have to report them so admissions  offices can engineer incoming classes with whatever they want: low income, URM, first generation, Pell grant kids, more “I have a sob story” students, athletes and so on. And fewer top scoring Asian Americans. If this were about legacy money the law schools would also be dropping the LSAT, which they are not. This is all about social engineering [/quote]
