In New York City, getting into high school can feel harder than getting into college. And since kindergarten admission is already a blood sport, perhaps it's time to start preparing high school applications in the delivery room.

Some business school professor is trying awfully hard to sound like one of those Anthropic employees writing dramatic farewell letters about the future of humanity.

7 hours since the president released this statement and not a single media outlet has reported it.
Weird.
On this third anniversary of the most horrific day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust, Ivy Coach is proud of our Jayson Weingarten for sounding the alarm in @timeshighered on the vanishing number of Jewish students at America’s elite universities.

A great editorial out in @FortuneMagazine by Ivy Coach's Jayson Weingarten on @Harvard's secret backdoor for the rich: The Z-List.

Note @Cornell's careful wording. Essays weren’t the “sole consequence.”
But what’s more striking is what’s barely there: sympathy for the student who says she was raped.
Cornell’s statement reads more like a defense of Cornell than concern for her.

Shame on Jacob Weisberg for shaming @dartmouth President Sian Beilock in Profiles in Cowardice.
Beilock stood up against antisemitism while other university presidents told Congress that whether calls for the genocide of Jews violate campus rules “depends on the context.”
Claudine Gay is back at @Harvard , teaching a class about Harvard.
After the plagiarism scandal and her disastrous handling of antisemitism on campus, does she really have anything left to teach?
For once, the answer doesn’t depend on the context.

Always the bridesmaid, finally the bride. @MIT dethroned @Princeton for the top spot in the @usnews ranking, ending Princeton’s 15-year reign at No. 1.
See what Ivy Coach's Jayson Weingarten had to say about it in today's Boston Globe by @brookehauser.

At Ivy Coach, we’ve noticed a frustrating trend. Prospective clients simply aren’t reading as much as they used to.

Is it @ColumbiaSpec policy to spotlight contempt for Israel?
A whole profile celebrating the “legacy” of a single student’s pro-Palestinian activism?
There’s a reason so many Jewish students have said they feel unsafe at Columbia.

This is the first time Duke will have a permanently endowed campus rabbi and comes after six donor families established the Jewish Life Rabinnic Fund to support the role. Rabbi Elana Friedman will continue to serve in the endowed role: dukechronicle.com/article/du…
Private jets, designer luggage, expensive summer programs. Wealth can open doors, but flaunting it can slam them shut.

The @the_herald polled @BrownUniversity students on their politics.
"In regards to political ideology, the class of 2030 did not surprise: about 73% of incoming first-years identify as liberal, with just 7% identifying as conservative."
No, no surprise.

After going test-optional during the pandemic, @Yale switched to a test-flexible policy in which students could submit AP exams, IB exams, the SAT, or ACT.
That experiment is over. Yale, like all Ivies, now requires the submission of an SAT or ACT.

Homeschooling in New York City is up 200%.
Wonder why?
Seven letters: M-A-M-D-A-N-I.
Do better by our children, NYC. Fix our schools.

Our competitors are being bought up by private equity.
Because nothing says better college counseling like investors with no admissions experience demanding returns.
We suspect the quality of our competition will somehow manage to go down even further.

UChicago’s latest enrollment data tell a striking story.
Black first-year enrollment fell to just 71 students, down from 97 last year and 150+ three years ago.
Meanwhile, 58% of the Class of 2029 is male, the highest share since 1987.
