[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Minus the kids who were legacies from their parents. At my kids, TT I was told it’s lucky my kid is a double legacy because if they weren’t they wouldn’t even be allowed to apply to a HYP. Actually, weirdly mentioned the former head of Brearley as someone who really kept those slots for big donors to Brearley and played particularly dirty pool for who was let to apply to those schools or who the school would endorse, application-wise. my kid would die before going to my alma for reasons I won’t go into here. But you can’t just look at their percentages. They also don’t publish how many of the kids going to Harvard have been there since kinder and what percentage of kinder does well in their HS. For all you know the kids who got into harvard are the ones who didn’t go to the school since K.[/quote]

"Wouldn't be allowed to apply" sorry, how exactly would they prevent that? If I were a Brearley parent and they told me my daughter couldn't apply to Harvard, I would apply anyway, forward that letter to Harvard's admissions office as an explanation for why Brearley was withholding my daughter's transcript, and CC Brearley. If it was simply a matter of withholding an "endorsement" I would trust Harvard to see through that.[/quote]
