[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea if there is "carnage" for the independent schools at any specific college but I interviewed a large group of DC students for my Ivy alma mater and had the usual number of thumbs up among my interviewees. And in the initial report for the area from my alma mater, there doesn't seem to be a drop off in admits in the early round this year.

The claim that URMs or low-income Questbridge applicants take up all the slots is absurd. 40% of children in the US are black or Latino while less than 20% of Ivy students are. 60% of Ivy students come from families in the top 1% by income and only a quarter from families making less than the median income.  If you want to complain, the legacy preference is a problem, since almost all of the legacy admits are in the top 1% of incomes and they make up about 15% of any class. But, they also often have higher grades and scores (and better recs) than non-legacy admits too. [/quote]

Ivy alumni interviewers are pathetic.  You graduated from college 100 years ago.  Get over yourself.[/quote]
