Get a new gig. You're just messing with people.
For several years some would-be DCUM comedian has been making silly claims about GDS and Harvard. They are usually phrased in an over the top way that makes people mad at GDS. They probably are not from anyone affiliated with GDS, and they stay in business because people eat up any Harvard college reference like hungry carp. A school like GDS certainly could have six early acceptances at Harvard in a given year, but the years of the troll goofing around on the "Harvard loves GDS" theme means people are inherently skeptical.
With that said, crazy to think it's relevant to picking what school your child should attend. You know what private schools are selective; by and large the more selective private schools send more kids to Ivies. No guarantee it will be your child that is Ivy bound, however, so better to feel good about the substantive school itself, not what you hope its college results will be in 5 years.
