These 21 high schools account for 11% of Harvard freshmen over the last 15 years, which by my account makes for about a 200x representation.

These are, um, not schools knows for high populations of low-income students. https://t.co/U6yC6gmmhF

There are two types of people in this world: Those who walk down the aisle of their boarding Southwest flight with a seat selection strategy in mind, and those who don't.

With first-year year enrollment numbers in from 35 highly selective colleges, what can we say about the impact of the SFFA decision on college admissions this past year? I've got 5 findings below.🧵

I am humbled by the response to this and I have one ask. Can you share this post so that we can get 75K likes? It is the most impactful thing @sabrevaya and I can do to save our democracy.

@neal_katyal Great show. Bucket list show for sure. Was thrilled to get Atlantic City on the set list when I saw him at Gillette.

19 years ago this morning, the most spine tingling warning I've ever read from a NWS office was released from New Orleans.

A while ago I wrote (mostly in jest, but you can never tell with the things I post on Twitter) that there is an easy solution to this. You can read about it here:

As indicated, it seems absurd when College Board (a nominally not-for-profit) had positive bottom lines averaging about $125M in the last two years available.

This is what our HS colleagues go through to give the highly rejectives a teeny, tiny little more confidence in allocating their precious admissions slots.

Those institutions and College Board hoist the entire cost of their demands onto high schools and volunteers.

[Jon Boeckenstedt @JonBoeckenstedt]

Counselors are not happy with @CollegeBoard who seems to turn a deaf ear, and who seems to want to force high schools' hand to offer more free labor and space via School Day Testing, all in service to the Highly Rejectives. (used with permission and redacted for privacy).

The world is a better place with you in it. If you or someone you know is struggling with a mental illness, you/they are NOT alone. There is help available. There is NO shame in asking for a little help once and awhile. Dial 9-8-8 to speak to someone.
