[quote=Anonymous]The point I find particularly fascinating is the one about how they're only willing to accept just a couple students from each school, which is to say that you're more likely to be rejected applying from an elite school than you are from a middle-of-the-road school. It makes me wonder why, exactly, parents are so eager to pay $40k or more per year to send their kids to elite private schools, particularly when you can presume that not only are you giving them more stringent competition, but you're likely making them compete against the "VIPs" (legacies, donors). You can't change your race: if you're Asian, you're penalized; if you're white, you're a little less penalized. But you can select your school's competition pool. [/quote]
