What 21 High Schools Reveal About Harvard’s Admissions Process

  • Summary

  • ASMSA Executive Director Corey Alderdice unpacks the startling statistic that 1 in 11 Harvard undergraduates come from just 21 high schools. We explore the concept of "feeder schools," their outsized role in shaping access to elite universities, and the implications for students navigating the admissions process from non-feeder schools. From privilege and equity to strategies for leveling the playing field, this episode dives deep into what it all means for students, parents, educators, and policymakers.
