Not all Ivy kids are left wingers. I’m on the right and went to Yale. William F. Buckley and many other prominent conservatives were forged somewhat in these leftist cauldrons.
McCallie is, in fact, now and has for some time been feeding the “best” colleges... They are on the map now of the top prep schools, in part, because nobody can ignore the performance of their students. It is a brilliant strategy: “shoot for the stars academically and don’t be racist.”
The Ivies are dropping academic assessments so they can better screen for political factors.
That’s just a reality.
I have kept a low profile here about my educational background, but it is confession time.
I am a Harvard grad from many decades ago.
Anecdote time:
It is my first day as a freshman.
I am just moving in to my dorm and across the hall I see a young man.
I walk up to him, shake his hand, and introduce myself.
He looks at me with a Charles Manson stare and announces:
“I am a Marxist.”
I knew I would love it there.
