[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect there were no legacy or athletic recruits among the TJ admits.[/quote]
Why would you conclude that TJ students (or Blair/Whitman/Churchill for that matter) don't have a parent who attended HYPS?[/quote]

How many Princeton legacies do you think go to public school at TJ?[/quote]

I always look for schools that do not have any legacy preference as a gauge. MIT, JHU, CalTech, CMU, Amherst, Berkeley (and all the UCs), Michigan. Other than Michigan, there’s significantly less acceptances to all of these schools across the board, both public and private, leading me to believe legacy is a big factor in all the admissions stats.

Aside from the SLACs, you are talking about STEM schools.

The only top STEM school with significant legacy is probably Stanford.

TJ has a reasonable number of MIT, JHU, CalTech, CMU.[/quote]

Does STEM make a difference? Those schools have non-STEM too, and anyway most of the TJ kids going to Ivy+ are STEM majors.

I don’t know how many they really have but I see 0 MIT, 1 JHU, 2 Berkeley and 3 CMU posted on IG this year from TJ. Not many. [/quote]
You may want to check again...or are you confusing TJ with Sidwell, which has not had any MIT matriculation in the last 4 years![/quote]

LOUD and wrong!

Sidwell sent two (2) c/o 2025 graduates to MIT last year. I know that many of you love to hate Sidwell, but these are easily disprovable lies. [/quote]
LOUD and very,  very wrong

O MIT matriculation in the last 4 years.  :lol: [/quote]

So you are choosing to be willfully ignorant? You’re choosing to believe a questionable website with questionable data over the two young women who posted on Sidwell’s PUBLIC Instagram page that they’re attending MIT.

Go to Sidwell’s c/o 2025 IG page, scroll down until you find both posts, then come back here to apologize. [/quote]
Taking IG posts as gospel and fact,  now that's ignorant [/quote]

You sound extremely stupid. You know those two students didn’t falsely post that they’re attending MIT. The idea that they would lie about where they’re attending college, in a public post, to their family, friends, and classmates is ludicrous.

Sidwell envy should be studied. You’re exhibit A. [/quote]
