[quote=Anonymous]It used to be that parent status/connection mattered much more than it does now. But you have to also consider the number of kids who come in from Prep for Prep and other organizations - the best of the best in terms of academics, diversity, extracurriculars, community involvement, and all of the other things that top colleges are looking for. Many first-generation college students as well. These kids usually rise to the tops of the classes, along with a handful of the "lifers." You also have to consider, at larger schools, the number of kids who gain acceptance on athletic scholarships - sometimes, the full ride is to the best X (insert sport) school, not to the Ivy League. There are lots of factors that go into those matriculation rates.[/quote]
