[quote=Anonymous]Interesting convo on YCBK. They admit that they look at everything including college to figure out if a kid is yieldable.

“You were talking about Layla, and you were talking about how the fact that one parent went to Harvard, one went to Dartmouth, and how that plays a role or doesn't play a role in the read, right? Because there were so many different ways that could be sliced.

It could be, we don't want to hold your privilege against you, but at the same time, understanding your privilege is part of understanding who you are, and then different institutions might have different thoughts on whether you're yieldable, and that could come into play. That was a really great nuanced conversation. Anything you want to add to that one, Hillary?

Yeah. It's interesting. Sometimes we'll see students who have parents who went to two IVs or both went to Stanford or something, and this is maybe a little bit unique to CC because CC is a unique place in many ways, but we won't automatically think that the student is not yieldable because what we offer is quite different and our community is quite different from some of those schools.”
