[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You forgot to add how many students are accepted every year from top high schools.

Most students accepted from specific high schools are

Trinity School – NY, NY: 40%
Collegiate School – NY, NY: 40%
Brearley School – NY, NY: 37%
Horace Mann School – Bronx, NY: 36%
Roxbury Latin School – West Roxbury, MA: 36%
Phillips Academy Andover – Andover, MA: 33%
The Spence School – NY, NY: 33%
The Winsor School – Boston, MA: 31%
The Dalton School – NY, NY: 31%
St. Paul’s School – Concord, NH: 30%
Chapin School – NY, NY: 30%
Harvard-Westlake School – Los Angeles, CA: 30%
Phillips Exeter Academy – Exeter, NH: 29%
The College Preparatory School – Oakland, CA: 29%

This doesn’t cover the top feeder public high schools.  Plus Harvard is committed to taking local kids from schools like Cambridge Rindge and Latin , the public in Cambridge.

So there are even less seats available to regular students who aren’t at one of these schools.

I mean, if you are taking everyone away (now by high school) you are getting into single digits... But by then your kid is also competing with much less impressive candidates.

Keep in mind that many of those "hooked" kids are multihooked - some celebrities are legacies, some legacies are donors, some URMs are athletes, some athletes come from obscure states...So you don't just add them all up. Many celebrities and big donors come from some of these private schools, if that is your concern.[/quote]
