[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SMU, TCU, and Tulane are perfectly acceptable schools for rich kids that aren't the academic superstars. Also, pretty much every small liberal arts college below the top 30 or so. Plus some SEC schools like Alabama. Tons of wealthy private school kids there. [/quote]

What about Davidson ED? If truly a top private, and a strong pointy academic interest (all of which can be created), I've seen it work with strong demonstrated interest.

Wesleyan
W&L
Colgate
Richmond
Colby
Bucknell

This does not seem reasonable in the last few years at least. Have you looked at the admit rates for these schools? [/quote]

Some of these schools have sub 12% admit rates. PP is delusional.[/quote]

It can really depend on the school, both the private high school and the college. We have a liberal arts college with a ~20% acceptance rate that admits ~70% of applicants from our private school.[/quote]

How many of those admits are from the bottom quarter of the class? No one is denying that strong private schools send a ton of kids to highly selective SLACs. But I don’t believe that bottom quarter of the class kids are getting into Wesleyan. [/quote]
