[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Best NE boarding schools get tons of kids into the Ivies, most of whom are not legacies. A lot are recruited athletes, though most are neither. [/quote]

I hear this too. It’s amazing how regionally focused Ivy admissions can be. Sure, they admit kids from everywhere, but their class skews to the NE.

It’s interesting because other top privates do this too, but posters then call these colleges regional schools. 15% of Harvard admits are from MA, but the state represents only 2% of the US population. I guess Harvard’s a regional too![/quote]

Princeton has a conscious commitment to taking NJ students. About 15 kids a year from Princeton High School go to Princeton, and lots of kids from other schools as well.  I guess you could call that a regional focus?  Or a commitment to providing opportunities to kids in its home state. [/quote]

A large percentage of those kids have a parent who works for the university. [/quote]

It's similar with Georgetown, and most schools.[/quote]
