[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Phillips Academy Andover, the most elite prep school in America only got 4 kids into Harvard in 2025. In the class of 2023 12 kids got into Harvard. Similar trends are at other top schools with only 6 getting into Yale in 2025 and 12 getting in 2023. Only 4 matriculated to Penn in 2025 compared to 7 in 2023. Only 13 got into UChicago, compared to 21 getting into UChicago in 2023. The trend holds across most elite schools such as Northwestern, Duke, etc.

There seems to be serious anti-elite trends in college admissions. They clearly see these kids as "privileged" and are holding it against them. In this new era, you might just be better off sending your kid to public school.

Wrong! These colleges are having their budgets slashed left and right by the current administration. Being a full pay private school student is now a huge plus. Brown has already started offering seats to waitlisted students. 
Poor students’ best shot at elite universities is ED, via Questbridge. After that, these schools need to fill their classes with top students who can pay the full cost. [/quote]
