The biggest feeder to Harvard is Boston Latin, a public school, not Andover.
The biggest feeder to Princeton is Princeton high School, a public school, not Lawrenceville.
The biggest feeder to Yale is probably a private school.

Okay well all of them are about to suffer serious damage from this new administration. This article said Harvard is looking at a 40% decline to their endowment and I'm sure the others are not far behind. Great job I trying to destroy some of US strongest universities Maga, including conservative ones like holy Cross and Notre Dame. Way to bite off your nose to spite your face.


From MarketWatch:

"Harvard University’s endowment could shrink by a dramatic 40% compared to what it would have been due to Trump administration policies.

That’s according to the modelling done by a Dutch software company, Ortec Finance, which look at three major policies: the loss of research funding, the change in tax status and the loss of revenue from international students."

Wealth plays a large part in who gets admitted to elite universities.

They had it coming - way too much wealth concentration used to let in kids that have no business being there based on race, FGLI, etc.


Sure, why don’t Harvard and Yale just go back to admitting rich, white males like they did 60+ years ago. All of them definitely deserved to be there.


60 years ago Harvard and Yale had an admit rate of 25% and 45% respectively.
Ability to pay was a primary determinant in who attended.
It sort of still is.



Incorrect.


Really? You don't think wealth plays into who get admitted?

The SES of incoming students being consistently in the stratosphere is just coincidence? Legacy preferences have nothing to do with money? Does everyone get a full ride or does ability to pay affect who gets to go?

Top east coast Prep schools have enjoyed unfair advantage for decades, That’s why so many wealthy parents pay uowards of 60k a year for private high schools to get their kids into elite colleges. Middle class kids from public high schools have much harder path Zo gain access to Harvard, Yale, etc. System is still rigged .

It is certainly headed in that direction thanks to Maga.

^+1 about Holy Cross-underrsted LAC imo. HC has graduated lots of famous alums. Their tax liability will likely increase as HC is in a quiet phase of large capital campaign.

Okay, well be sure to point out on your application that you're in favor of this tax increase by the current administration. I'm sure they're going to want to admit lots of students that are in favor of them getting smacked around by the Trump administration.


Are they asking that question?
And IO highly doubt anyone applying anytime soon thinks these are good developments.


It just seems ironic that posters on here that seem happy about damage done to places like Harvard, also, seem to imply that attending Harvard is desirable. It makes no sense.

They have no business being there because of their race or income? Aren’t you lovely. No qualms at all about saying the quiet part out loud.


DP.

How does race entitle someone to attend Harvard or yale?
