[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing shocking in the article but it's good to see it in print. As a HS senior back in 1990 at a private in NYC, it shocked and appalled me that all the kids of CEOs and famous people got into ivies. It no longer does. It also confirms my suspicion about UVA. I was told that several boarding schools have a pipeline to the school, and from what I have seen, it's true. Hopefully, this article puts some shame into the admissions offices. [/quote] Actually, the article cites Texas and Virginia as colleges where the data shows that they do not provide a preference for wealthy students. From the article: Public flagship universities were much more equitable. At places like the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Virginia, applicants with high-income parents were no more likely to be admitted than lower-income applicants with comparable scores.[/quote]
