[quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that at top schools, if you’re unhooked kid is private-schooled, white and UMC they are held to a higher standard because it will be assumed that they had more opportunities. Asian students and girls have a harder time because the competition is stiffer. I don’t know if it’s fair or not, but we prepared accordingly, making sure that our DD used the opportunities of her private school experience to the max, had top test scores and great ECs. On the other hand, need-aware SLACs with endowments under 2 billion will assume that you are full pay if you go to private school, and if you’re super-rich that will help too. [/quote]
