Athletes and legacies.
Yawn.
Seems the most common denominator for Sidwell's Ivy acceptances is STEM

Anyone that starts a sentence with "damn" is either poorly educated or just unpolished. Neither of whom I would take advice from regarding college admissions.
Oh ffs, your two sentences are a hot mess. I’d advise you to never call anyone uneducated or unpolished again, particularly not when it comes to English language usage and grammar.
In the meantime, I will fix them for you:
Your sentences:
Anyone that starts a sentence with "damn" is either poorly educated or just unpolished. Neither of whom I would take advice from regarding college admissions.
Corrected sentences:
Anyone WHO* starts a sentence with "damn" is either poorly educated or [CUT: just] unpolished. [REWRITE NEXT SENTENCE AS FOLLOWS:] I would not take advice from such a person regarding college admissions.**
Explanations:
*When referring to people (as opposed to, say, teapots), please don’t use “that”
(or “which”) as a pronoun. Use “who” or “whom” instead. (Bonus tip: if you’re not sure which is correct, for the love of god, please stick with “who.” Few grammar errors are more embarrassing to listen to than “whom” flung around incorrectly.)
**You’ve got a mixed-up modifier here. “Whom” would seem to refer back to “anyone” (both pronouns referring to people), and yet “neither of” suggests you are referring back to “poorly educated or unpolished”—yet those are adjectives, not nouns.
"That" is okay when used in a restrictive clause. Plus it's more common usage. Obviously, in a non-restrictive clause, it would look odd.
Joe, that lives in Florida, is so MAGA.
See?
I can’t tell if you really think this is the “more common usage” or if you are being ironic. I will assume the latter.

Original sentences were grammatically correct. Sure editing is always allowed and can improve writing but there is nothing grammatically incorrect about the original version.
You are missing a comma.

And Harvard and Williams. Great year.

You sound like a disgusting snob. People like you bring shame to NCS.
