Honest question — did your daughter not get into B, or could you not afford it? It's hard to tell. Or she got in but you didn't find value in spending $1MM?

Only have sons at TTs, so never applied. Some of their friends go. It’s delusional to think any college counselor or school admin has the Midas touch to get its graduates until HYP at these rates. It’s money and sports and FGLI almost every time. Princeton doesn’t want to take ten applicants from an expensive city school, they only do it because they have donors and coaches and diversity mandates to answer to.

Equally ignorant and delusional, mean-spirited and stupid-minded to assume that money, sports (lol, nyc private athletes…), and fgli are the only people who get in. Shut up already. We’re sorry you’ve got mid kids… jfc

Those are, by and large, the types who get in from TTs. You see, a Harvard admissions reader doesn’t want a ton of kids whose parents pay 70k+ and spent their lives in that environment. If you think they want HYP to be finishing schools, you are wrong. And no, they aren’t impressed by any one school like that. Keep on dreaming that Yale looks at B as some mega tier above Dalton and Trinity. They really don’t care like you do.

1) you’re creepy. I beg you: Find something else to do with your time beyond stalking kids on insta.

2) I’m a trin/harvard grad with a sibling who is also a tt grad/hyp grad, a kid in a tt, two nieces and nephews in tt’s etc. I’m telling you you’re wrong. There are some nepos and fgli for sure (but athletes? Not really, maybe like 2 a year), but they are eminently qualified more often that not.

Your cynicism and, frankly, presumptive, borderline racism are boring. Now crawl back into your cave and go to sleep.

your grandkids are going to be the Harvard Nepo kids of class of 2075!

A lot of unnecessary meanness in this thread.

We have one [incomplete] data set -- college outcomes, and most reasonable people would agree that it's a product of several variables -- student quality, school education quality, counselor quality, hooks, luck -- weighted in some unknown fashion and not entirely independent from each other. The whole argument is about which variables carry more weight and how much. In the absence of a clear breakdown of the one data set that we do have (by hooks, etc) this is completely impossible to determine.

And yet, when one school evidently outperforms others -- reputationally of similar caliber -- that's hard to simply waive away.

FWIW, our daughter was accepted to Brearley, really liked it on the revisit but in the end chose a co-ed school. She is very strong academically, but we don't so much care about HYP as an outcome. If we did, however, it would have probably been tempting to choose Brearley just b/c how well they are performing.

Don’t assume one person wrote all these posts. Maybe address the issue at hand, whether one school is “eminently qualified” to send more students to HYP than the school you mentioned.

All the top NYC private schools have excellent college placements. it's a bit silly to be debating whether B is better than Trinity or HM. All three are pretty good.

This is true.

No assumptions made, responding to posts. And it’s the students who are qualified, not the schools.

her boys are at TT.

unicorns!

Good luck with HYP! I’m sure your daughters 1600 and 4.0 will beat the trustee’s grandchild out of the spot! Ditto with the fencing recruit and ghetto girl from above 96th!

given our relatively comfortable financial status and daughter's intelligence, we think she will be pretty well set in life, even if she god forbid has to go to a t25 school instead of HYP.

Hopefully your TT sons can break the mold and get into a HYP. When they do, shoot us your address so we can send you a "Harvard Mom" bumper sticker for your car.
