Clearly Dalton is an Ivy feeder. DMV privates may be having a tough year with matriculations to top 20 schools/Ivies, but NYC prep schools seem to be doing just fine and claiming a good percentage of the spots. I thought the Ivies and top 20s were trying to diversify were their admits come from? Instead it looks like NYC prep schools get the most. It's an embarrassment of riches, when looking at this list. No school in the DMV this year can compare. 🙄

Wow. These matriculations are really impressive, especially in a year like this year.

Development admits

Brearley usually has most HYPSM admits per student in nyc. Then Trinity/Collegiate/Regis/Dalton/HM is race for second.

I think TJ holds it's own vs other top publics, but not the privates.

Here's an interesting list: https://polarislist.com/

TJ is right up there but you're right about NYC, MA, NJ, CA, CT being the cream of the crop.

If the Dalton matriculations are this ridiculous, imagine what the acceptances look like.

I don't really know what you guys mean when you say "this is a magnet school". It's a specialized high school. There are very few zoned high schools in nyc. Everyone applies to HS. Mostly it's luck (lottery), but some have applications with essays, some have tests (the specialized), some are auditions, some are ed-opt which is too hard to explain, many give priority to SWD, ELLs and poorer kids. But even kids with high % of poor kids (probably most HSs), there are some middle class and UMC families. And sometimes rich families. But those kids are not the usual in any class.

I’m not sure exactly where the kids of Katie Holmes, Sarah Jessica Parker, Emily Blunt (if they’re back in NYC now), Drew Barrymore, Tina Fey etc go to school in NYC, but presumably top NYC privates. And I bet they’re far from the wealthiest parents of kids at those schools when you take into account NYC finance parents. Unlike DC privates that have a lot of civil servants making $180k/year.

Right, of course. But what about the Ivies and top schools taking all these kids? They claim to be interested in expanding their reach and diversifying, but this list proves that's all talk. They really want wealthy NYC elite.

Now you know how us masses in public schools with no hook feels.

Eh, my kid is here. NYC, Public, I don't know of a single legacy, most pretty poor, about 125 kids in the class. Most acceptances not listed -- I know of at least 2 into Harvard. 5 MIT in early round alone.

OK Sorry the link didn't work for me

How many went to Tufts?

Katie Holmes - Avenues - eh
Sarah Jessica Parker - City and Country - eh
Emily Blunt - don't know
Blake Lively - Village Community School - eh
Drew Barrymore - Brearley - amazing
Tina Fewy. - Brearley - amazing

SJP's oldest attended Ethical Culture Fieldston. Lots of downtown folks have their kids at Village Community then pivot uptown or to the Hill schools for MS or US.

Looking at the page, it's clearly very racially diverse, with more black students than proportional for the country.

When Ivy's look for diversity, they don't mean students from crummy public schools in the suburbs or inner city Baltimore. They mean wealthy and highly connected blacks from Manhattan and DC.

I don’t think this is Hunter?

It's not. It's the High School for Math, Science, and Engineering.

For these kids, it really doesn't matter where they go to college. They have already made it in life. College is just for fun.

I'm sure they run in circles where everyone's used to mommy and daddy donating $$ to get their kids some advantage, but in the real world, I would find it embarrassing that the only reason you got into some elite school was because your parents literally bought your way in.

IMO, unhooked kids getting into elite schools is impressive. These rich kids getting in.. not so much.

I'm sure they'll feel really sad while flying on daddy's jet to spend the weekend in Deer Vally

sure, and many never go out into the real world, like the Trump family kids, but these kids aren't impressive.

Interestingly, UK (a country with a royal family) colleges don't care who your family is but the US (meritocracy but only for the masses) colleges still do.

I'll believe that when a PMs child or a royal spawn ends up at Hull
