Happens every year

My son had a C average and a mediocre SAT. White. No legacy. Got into Harvard. Might be because I promised $2.5MM to endow a scholarship the year before he applied. I love America.

2.5 million? Pee-shaw- they said no and you know it.

Potomac had 4 last year to Harvard. At least 2 were ED. 1 I believe got in off the wait list. Class was about 112 students.

No, one kid went to Harvard from Potomac last year - a recruited male soccer player.

Probably Cambridge Rindge and Latin. It is on their campus basically. They have some sort of agreement where they have to take a set number of kids. I believe it is 12.

Never heard of this. If that were the case, CRLS would be the most sought after school in the country.

It is true - Stuyvesant HS in New York and Cambridge Rindge and Latin are the top feeders to Harvard along with Philips Andover and Philips Exeter.

GDS does quite well at Harvard.

Harvard has stated they have a commitment to accept as many local kids as possible. Cambridge has a lot of minorities. Harvard actively recruits there which is something they don’t do at other schools.

Sure they're feeders. But PP was claiming that Harvard agreed to take 12 students a year from Cambridge Rindge and Latin.

It’s not on the campus unless you consider the city of Cambridge to be Harvard’s campus. I don’t think they have a formal agreement but they always take a good amount. Perhaps it was originally set up as a feeder school way back when.

If all these feeder schools or admissions are concentrated among few schools, there aren’t a lot of spots left for the kids in the rest of the country

There's nothing in that article about Harvard agreeing to take 12 applicants a year from CRLS. Where did you get that from?

So while Harvard is just one Ivy, some of the conventional wisdom on DCUM seems to have been disproved this year, at least for the ED round.

13.4% ED acceptance rate; most competitive ever; majority were women (many of whom had interest in computer science and physical science)

International admits were (11.2%) up from last year

Students from 49 states

Asian Americans were 26.1 percent of admits, up from 24.2 percent last year

African American admits were 12%, down from 13.9% last year

Latino admits held steady at about 10%

You left of Trinity (NY), St. Paul’s (boarding), Chaplin (NY)
Locally STA, Sidwell and GDS typically have multiple kids going

Probably with a good number of faculty children.

Lots of Ivy deferrals at my DC's public school.

It is where Matt Damon and Ben Affleck went to HS - it is a public HS.
