[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dalton offers the most FA and has the most diverse population for an NYC TT school. These are the most desirable kids - a known quantity for diversity. Not a risk for Ivies at all. Add to that legacy and big donors and their matriculation is no surprise.[/quote]

Urban poor kids have a lot of advantages compared to rural poor kids. Private day schools that offer significant FA, Prep for Prep, Posse, public transportation everywhere, city rec sports & music programs, and high-quality non-profits around to learn & practice various ECs[/quote]

I'm not knocking giving them the opportunity at all, but in my experience, a lot of those scholarships and prep for prep opportunities don't go to the "urban poor," they go the children of Haitian and Jamaican immigrants who are accountants, lawyers, small business owners, etc. And I know one wasp whose kid got a free ride at a fancy private because they lived in Bushwick and the kid had her father's last name.
