[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From my kid's experience, this has had mixed effects on campus. He attended a top 10 boarding school and now attends any Ivy-adjacent college. He's breezing through due to the rigorous preparation he received, but he notices many of the lower-income students that were admitted on their "story" are struggling and tend to have to switch out of the STEM subjects. His freshman chemistry class in college is basically the same as his high school class. The calc class is actually easier. Some of his FGLI peers are really struggling in these courses. [/quote] Your kid seems to have a pretty big attachment to all his peers’ backgrounds and high school opportunities. Most of the poor kids at these schools come from similar schools as your own child- surprise surprise, but ivies still are taking these kids from magnet programs, boarding schools, and other highly regarded public schools.[/quote]
