This one is interesting to me. Some Ivy + reaches but a bunch to NYU and lot of meh IMO. Reads to me like HW's counseling office runs a tight ship and clearly directs kids to ED to targets.


I don't get it why NYU is so hot for Californians. 99k for a city college.

HW knows how to play the game better than anyone.


They also provide straight forward information on the acceptance rate per GPA range for unhooked students. Someone posted their college counseling guide once. I have to imagine that’s super helpful for students to know where they have a >50% of admissions based on stats and apply ED accordingly.

I have to look hard to find a non-ivy+ there.



Wow. Life still is about who you were lucky enough to be born to. 😭


It’s amazing that it’s pretty similar to my 1990s graduating class, except I don’t think anyone went to Chicago.


You getting off telling a bunch of internet strangers that you're a Trinity grad, eh?

Holy heck. Where is this school?


Ranking or GPA basically loses their meaning at this school. Half of the class get in ivy plus.
Little future elites.


There are a few Tulanes and Lehigh/Hamilton sprinkled in, keep scrolling
