[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top colleges know which are the ultra competitive private and public schools. They know what Andover, Exeter, Trinity, Stuyvesant or Brooklyn Tech means and they consistently target these schools more heavily than the mediocre privates or publics. [/quote] +1 At most of these ultra-elite schools the top 30%-50% enrolls at at ivy or ivy equivalent. [/quote] This is completely insane to think about but it is true. I know Trinity and Andover send something like 40%+ to the ivies + Stanford, MIT, Duke, Chicago. [/quote] Many of the kids from these schools (private) have wealthy parents and that is why they get into top schools in higher numbers compared to other schools. I know of 2 NYC families that fit this profile. Attended 2 of the schools mentioned and both students are mediocre academically and their parents know it. However, they are wealthy and able to not just pay tuition but donate millions. [/quote]
