[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parents school are the biggest indicator of who gets in where. For the most part kids are following in their parents footsteps, if you went to an Ivy your kid will end up at the equivalent school or slightly lower. In our community, I haven’t see a senior end up at a school ranked higher than their parent’s alma mater .[/quote]

We both went to Ivies and our kids cannot go: I got full financial aid and dh is still paying his $$$$ loans off. Our kids are smart and do well but 1. Not smart enough to compete with today's standards 2. At our income bracket it would be foolish to spend 800k + for college instead of saving more for retirement and helping dcs in adulthood. I can't imagine we are the only people like this out there.[/quote]

So this is why the algorithm data is actually important.

It takes your titles, your employers, your home address, and where you went to school. It shoots out a projected net worth. That information is very important to some of the schools.

And it’s how they decide who’s linkedin to stalk.[/quote]
