[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have any connection to these schools but I think Emory and Davidson are elite. They are very selective private schools. Sure, they are not Harvard, but in some ways that makes the stories more interesting and a bit more widely applicable. [/quote] Exactly. Most, if not all, of the "Top 10" have enough $$ to be truly need blind. Admission to those schools is interesting, but a different discussion. The article is relevant to admissions for the thousands of kids that are applying to competitive, non-top 10 schools. For those bashing on the University of Washington, it's also pretty clear that the author wanted a range of schools -- small, medium-sized and large flagship. I would think those on this board would be aware that the increase in tuition at private colleges means that most state flagships have gotten very competitive for admissions, whether you think they're "elite" or not.
