HYPS is weird, no? Isn't it usually HYPSM?


Most of the schools post 5 year matriculation on their websites. That would be the most fulsome data.
this year is across the board better than the five year average


Anyone knows why ?


Every university in America is financially struggling right now and every TT/2T/3T has an abundance of families that can help with that problem.


Schools with $10BN+ endowments aren't financially struggling.


Actually they are; they're generally extremely limited in what they can do with most of that endowment money and they're neither willing nor able to dip into it to sustain operations. And in general, the richer the university, the more money they're getting from research grants and the more eager the current administration is to hurt them by cutting those.


The vast majority of them will be fine.


Even Harvard is sending out cost-cutting memos; the fact that they'll be "fine" does not mean they're not looking to tighten up their finances a bit, and in the current climate, letting in an extra 50 barely-qualified rich white kids a year for a few years will not cause any legal or reputational issues and is vastly preferable to more permanent measures like closing a department.


What does race have to do with it. If they are so focused on money as you obsessively insist they are with no shades of gray in your argument then I think they would take money from any race.

Clearly you didn’t go to one of these schools as you can’t construct a coherent argument that considers both sides and lacks noticeable holes. SMDH.

I mean logically speaking "universities want more kids from rich private schools because they need the money" makes a whole lot more sense than "every single private school's class of 2026 happens to be vastly more impressive than their class of 2025 or 2024."

Then I’m curious to see how top Specialized High Schools are doing this year compared to Private schools.


Perfectly fine. And regardless, that really is not statistically significant data. Too much noise and not enough data points.

I still think you should add the t30 schools to give a better look at the depth of the classes
