[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes my kids' private they graduated from within the last few years seem to be doing better this year than when they were there. [/quote]

Why do you think that is?

Clearly, they are not admitting necessarily stronger students all around.

Is it really the Supreme Court decision? So the beneficiaries of that decision are private school white and Asian kids?

Full pay white kids, maybe.

Asians don't do privates much. Mostly public HS.[/quote]

Correlation does not mean causation, nor should anecdote be conflated with data. But if one must speculate, I'd guess that test optional policies resulted in the admission of students who have struggled to an extent that colleges this year decided to admit more students from secondary schools whose alumni have a long track record of doing well at the next level (note from other messages in this thread that seniors at competitive public high schools also have been admitted to elite colleges and universities in greater numbers than they recently have done).
