How does the high school you attend impact admission?

No simple answer here. There are loads of high schools which are known as “feeders”. These are typically boarding schools, private schools in wealthy suburbs, and magnet schools.

Being at the top of the class at one of these schools can definitely help. But being unhooked and from the middle or bottom of the class at one of the feeders is probably a detriment.

There are other holistic factors which impact admissions as well: URM status, financial aid, major, geography, etc.
