[quote=Anonymous]UChicago has found a niche by taking "strong, but not top" students from elite private schools and boarding schools. These students are highly-prepared and would likely be top 5-10% at a regular public school. Any kid that graduates in the top half of an elite private school can easily handle a T10 college. Elite colleges have stopped taking many students from top private schools for "equity" reasons and have given preference to low-income students from underperforming public schools. UChicago will benefit in 20 years when these smart, connected kids become insanely successful and donate back to their alma mater. [/quote]
