<p>Periwinkle’s link: That may be 83 kids in a class of 1660. They can also be legacies, athletes, some faculty kids, etc. Since Harvard also says about 17% of 2017 freshmen are from New England, you can imagine how competitive this makes admissions in that area. Don’t know what Stuy does (and hope we won;t devote pages to that,) but the BS also try to cultivate in their kids what elites like- incl responsible ECs, test prep, careful LoRs and some essay attention. </p>
