[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our private high school had more kids than usual get into T30s and fewer get into T10s

So the insta page looks great with Notre Dame and Northwestern and UChicago, but you dont know how those kids were all hoping for HYPSM etc. Where our HS usually sends a couple to each each year. [/quote]

Same. My 2024 got into an Ivy RD and there were about 7 other Ivy admits his year. This year only 1 sport recruit Ivy admit at the school.

It was a tough year for Ivies- but tons of T20-30s and some Duke/MIT/Hopkins.[b] We saw more Ivy admits at publics this year. Due to Trump and avoiding endowment tax, etc. [/b][/quote]

What does this mean? Why would Ivies that admit more public-school students be related to avoiding the endowment tax?[/quote]
This is true for princeton but not sure about the others that are larger[/quote]

This is assuming that public school students get financial aid and private school students do not get financial aid from Princeton.   Not sure.

I know plenty of wealthy families sending their kids to public school and then sending them off to ivy League colleges.  But they are well funded, excellent public schools in wealthy communities.[/quote]

Interesting. 
I've seen a big shift to full pay preferences at T20. Like the scholarships kids at our private HS who would have gotten crazy admissions offers this year did not. If the kids were qualified and maybe not truly standout but clearly full pay with parents with big professions (though not connected) - those kids had GREAT outcomes this year.[/quote]
