Some high school counselors DO have special relationships with admission officers at some highly-selective universities, including Stanford. So, some high schools are indeed considered feeders for some tippy top universities. (I’m not saying that this holds for MIT though.) Want proof? Read The Gatekeepers:

It was published in 2003, but there’s nothing else out there (to my knowledge) more recent on this subject.
