[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that people seem to be referring to their own college experiences from 15+ years ago.

Harvard's acceptance rate in 2008 was over 10%. Early action rate was 20%. The bar for very bright hard-working applicants was high but entirely achievable.

Fast forward to present time, and the acceptance rate dropped to about 4%. Early action rate is about 8%. There are more legacies, more bright international students, more athletes, more college consultants who work with students over 4 years to "package" their applications (for the price tag of $750-1.5mm and I am not making it up!). There is still a theoretical chance for a Sally Sue with 1,600 SAT and a perfect GPA but it is very, very slim.[/quote]

Not according to posters here. Somehow Brearley just cobbles together all the white asian unathletic and non-legacy/donor applicants who can mysteriously get into HYPS in large numbers. Either they were genetically engineered or the college counselor is secretly dating multiple heads of admission.  [/quote]
