There was a question about "they" in one of my posts about taking spots. "They" meant foreign applicants. These are US colleges we are talking about.
Not US born or residents applying, because they are in US schools for lower levels.
I think it is the attitude of the Chinese parents cited. These are the same people that will save to buy a piano. No TV or Wii in their homes. These are working, middle class people that want their children to have a leg up and better life. They save and pay for consultants for college so their kids can get into the top schools.
Like the girl from Exeter, I am hearing diminished exmissions to top schools from a lot of top high schools that were feeders to the IVs 10 years ago.
