[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to be crass, but I really don't see why schools wouldn't be falling over themselves to accept students who have excellent college preparation, come from a background with means, and a family who obviously values education.  They are likely to be full-pay, donate to the school etc.  My kids and I just went to public schools and we're not part of this "Big 3" world in any way, but even with all emphasis on increasing first gen, need blind, diversity etc. I would think at the end of the day schools would still reward the relatively small population of kids who go to top private schools with selective college admissions.

The game has changed. [/quote]

I get that, but why?  I can't imagine that money doesn't still talk.  Especially when the other factors--academic preparation, capacity, are still there.[/quote]

The game has not changed that much. Most of the students admitted to T20 are white upper class private school kids from wealthy families. This board makes you think this is not true but that’s just because people here think their kids deserve more spots and are “squeezed out” by less deserving students from “no-name urban” schools. Holy cow. Do you people even hear yourselves any more?
