[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New admin at Brearley from a middling school upstate with low Ivy admissions (1 girls to Harvard in 4 years, 2 to Yale). Curious to see how that works out in next 5-10.[/quote]

So far Brearley has 5 going to Harvard, and the decisions are still coming in on the instagram account (they post about one a day).

So I guess the new admin from some random upstate school isn’t doing such a bad job 🤷🏻‍♀️ [/quote]

They’d have gotten in from Jackson MS High too. Their TT had nothing to do with it. Rich parents did. [/quote]

Agree to disagree. There are rich kids with legacy across all these TT and yet B manages to outperform. 
Just to add, I’ve spent a lot of time interviewing kids at a number of specialized public schools for HYP admissions and it made me realize that TT private schools help these kids become more self-aware and articulate than others. It is impressive. [/quote]

You don’t seem to understand. An eight figure donor, a squash player the coach wants, and a minority with a 1500 will almost certainly get into Harvard. These are the majority of TTs exmissions to HYPS. All B did was accept more of these families and draw from this pipeline. There are fewer of them at other schools. And the idea that Dwight has them in any appreciable numbers is laughable, a double Harvard legacy is too smart to pay for a school like that. [/quote]

Not to nitpick but the constant squash references are sad. Go to any squash tournament and enjoy the bewildered looks on the tiger parents of Lazlo and Olive when they see the truly talented kids, compounded by the fact that there are limited slots and many come from abroad.[/quote]
