The Ivy League universities and Seven Sisters colleges have strong WASP historical ties, and their influence continues today. Until about World War II, Ivy League universities were composed largely of WASP students. As some of the nation's top colleges and universities, they still continue to be the university of choice for WASP families today. The Big Three (Harvard, Yale and Princeton universities) have traditionally been the top three universities of choice for WASP families. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Anglo-Saxon_Protestant
WASP neighborhoods and cities
Like other ethnic groups, WASPs live in proximity of each other in close social circles. Neighborhoods and cities with large populations of WASPs are oftentimes the most sought after neighborhoods of the city. These areas are largely exclusive and upper class with top private and public schools, high family incomes, well established Christian church communities, and with high real estate values.
Chicago - North Shore, Evanston, Hinsdale, Lake Forest, Kenilworth, and Glencoe.
Former Harvard University president Lawrence Summers has stated, "Legacy admissions are integral to the kind of community that any private educational institution is." In the 1998 book The Shape of the River: Long- Term Consequences of Considering Race in College and University Admissions, authors William G. Bowen, former Princeton University president, and Derek Bok, former Harvard University president,
"Ivy League’s meritocracy lie: How Harvard and Yale cook the books for the 1 percent"
“Manly, Christian character.” That was the ideal that Endicott Peabody, a member of the New England Brahmin class, hoped to cultivate in the boys who attended his private boarding school, Groton. Peabody founded Groton in 1884 with the purpose of building character and embedding the value of “ noblesse oblige” into the social fabric of late-nineteenth-century America. Groton students, like young men from seven other boarding schools in the northeastern United States, were to embody character, manliness, and athleticism. The “Big Three” colleges—Harvard, Yale, and Princeton— validated these ideals by admitting nearly all boarding-school applicants and conferring honorary degrees upon Peabody.
Admission into the “Big Three” was fairly easy if the applicant possessed a “manly, Christian character.” He had to pass subject-based entrance exams devised by the colleges, but the tests weren’t particularly hard, and he could take them over and over again to pass. Even if a student didn’t pass the required exams, he could be admitted with “conditions.” Once enrolled at Harvard, Yale, or Princeton, he would focus primarily on his social life, clubs, sports, social organizations, and campus activities, while often ignoring his academic work.
Admissions began to change, however, when Charles William Eliot became president of Harvard in 1869. Annoyed with “the stupid sons of the rich,” Eliot sought to draw into the university’s fold capable students from all segments of society. To ensure that smart students could attend Harvard regardless of their means, Eliot, in 1898, abolished the archaic Greek admission exams that were popular up until that time. He also replaced Harvard’s admissions exams with exams created by the College Entrance Examination Board because it tripled the number of locations where applicants could be tested. The result of Eliot’s changes was the admission of more public school students, including Catholics and Jews.
A. Lawrence Lowell, Eliot’s successor, attempted to reverse the trend of admitting those without WASP status and values. The “Jewish problem” in particular alarmed Lowell. The number of Jews at Harvard had increased steadily, from 10 percent in 1909, to 15 percent in 1915, to 21.5 percent in 1922. In addition to their growth in numbers, Jews generally outperformed non-Jewish students academically. Lowell worried that Harvard might suffer the same fate as Columbia, which experienced “WASP flight” as more Jewish students started to enroll. In response, Lowell limited freshman enrollment to one thousand and altered the admissions criteria to include an emphasis on “character,” legacy, and athleticism rather than solely on academic achievement. Additionally, the application process now required interviews and photos, as well as letters of recommendation. Initially a method to limit Jewish enrollment, the notion of a “well-rounded” applicant was born in the first half of the 1920s.
But altering admissions criteria to benefit socially desirable students was not enough for Harvard. With an increasingly complex university admissions process, a new and uniform system ....

Nevertheless, the admissions officer rated her just so-so in academics, and seemed far more positively impressed by her ethnic activism in the local school’s Asian-American club. Ultimately, he stamped her with a “Reject,” but later admitted to Steinberg that she might have been admitted if he had been aware of the enormous time and effort she had spent campaigning against the death penalty, a political cause near and dear to his own heart. Somehow I suspect that a student who boasted of leadership in pro-death penalty activism among his extracurriculars might have fared rather worse in this process. And presumably for similar reasons, Tiffany was also rejected by all her other prestigious college choices, including Yale, Penn, Duke, and Wellsley, an outcome which greatly surprised and disappointed her immigrant father.88

When examining statistical evidence, the proper aggregation of data is critical. Consider the ratio of the recent 2007–2011 enrollment of Asian students at Harvard relative to their estimated share of America’s recent NMS semifinalists, a reasonable proxy for the high-ability college-age population, and compare this result to the corresponding figure for whites. --------------- On pg 31. ** NMS Semifinalists ** N/J White Asian Jewish National (estimated) 65-70% 25-30% 6% Harvard 18% 16% 26% ------------------------------------------------- Jewish 26 * 100 /6 % = 433 % Asian 16 * 100 / 25 = 64% N/J White 18*100 / 65 = 27.69 % ------------------ The Asian ratio is 63 percent, slightly above the white ratio of 61 percent, with both these figures being considerably below parity due to the substantial presence of under-represented racial minorities such as blacks and Hispanics, foreign students, and students of unreported race. Thus, there appears to be no evidence for racial bias against Asians, even excluding the race-neutral impact of athletic recruitment, legacy admissions, and geographical diversity. However, if we separate out the Jewish students, their ratio turns out to be 435 percent, while the residual ratio for non-Jewish whites drops to just 28 percent, less than half of even the Asian figure. As a consequence, Asians appear under-represented relative to Jews by a factor of seven, while non-Jewish whites are by far the most under-represented group of all, despite any benefits they might receive from athletic, legacy, or geographical distribution factors. The rest of the Ivy League tends to follow a similar pattern, with the overall Jewish ratio being 381 percent, the Asian figure at 62 percent, and the ratio for non-Jewish whites a low 35 percent, all relative to their number of high-ability college-age students

Former Harvard University president Lawrence Summers has stated, "Legacy
admissions are integral to the kind of community that any private
educational institution is." In the 1998 book The Shape of the River: Long-
Term Consequences of Considering Race in College and University Admissions, authors William G. Bowen, former Princeton University president, and Derek
Bok, former Harvard University president,

"The Tyranny of the Meritocracy: Democratizing Higher Education in America "
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0807006270/?tag=saloncom08-20
"Ivy League’s meritocracy lie: How Harvard and Yale cook the books for the 1 percent"
“Manly, Christian character.” That was the ideal that Endicott Peabody, a member of the New England Brahmin class, hoped to cultivate in the boys who attended his private boarding school, Groton. Peabody founded Groton in 1884 with the purpose of building character and embedding the value of “
noblesse oblige” into the social fabric of late-nineteenth-century America. Groton students, like young men from seven other boarding schools in the
northeastern United States, were to embody character, manliness, and
athleticism. The “Big Three” colleges—Harvard, Yale, and Princeton—
validated these ideals by admitting nearly all boarding-school applicants
and conferring honorary degrees upon Peabody.
Admission into the “Big Three” was fairly easy if the applicant possessed a “manly, Christian character.” He had to pass subject-based entrance
exams devised by the colleges, but the tests weren’t particularly hard, and he could take them over and over again to pass. Even if a student didn’t
pass the required exams, he could be admitted with “conditions.” Once
enrolled at Harvard, Yale, or Princeton, he would focus primarily on his
social life, clubs, sports, social organizations, and campus activities,
while often ignoring his academic work.
Admissions began to change, however, when Charles William Eliot became
president of Harvard in 1869. Annoyed with “the stupid sons of the rich,” Eliot sought to draw into the university’s fold capable students from all
segments of society. To ensure that smart students could attend Harvard
regardless of their means, Eliot, in 1898, abolished the archaic Greek
admission exams that were popular up until that time. He also replaced
Harvard’s admissions exams with exams created by the College Entrance
Examination Board because it tripled the number of locations where
applicants could be tested. The result of Eliot’s changes was the admission of more public school students, including Catholics and Jews.
A. Lawrence Lowell, Eliot’s successor, attempted to reverse the trend of
admitting those without WASP status and values. The “Jewish problem” in
particular alarmed Lowell. The number of Jews at Harvard had increased
steadily, from 10 percent in 1909, to 15 percent in 1915, to 21.5 percent in 1922. In addition to their growth in numbers, Jews generally outperformed
non-Jewish students academically. Lowell worried that Harvard might suffer
the same fate as Columbia, which experienced “WASP flight” as more Jewish students started to enroll. In response, Lowell limited freshman enrollment to one thousand and altered the admissions criteria to include an emphasis
on “character,” legacy, and athleticism rather than solely on academic
achievement. Additionally, the application process now required interviews
and photos, as well as letters of recommendation. Initially a method to
limit Jewish enrollment, the notion of a “well-rounded” applicant was born in the first half of the 1920s.
But altering admissions criteria to benefit socially desirable students was not enough for Harvard. With an increasingly complex university admissions
process, a new and uniform system ....

An example:
02-14-2015 at 12:34 pm
I was rejected from CS at UIUC
SAT 2230 (800CR, 780MAT, 650 WR)
ACT 34
Top 5% class, 4.3 weighted GPA
I was accepted into the James Scholar Honors College for General Studies at UIUC, but will most likely go to my second choice school. I am sure I want
to study CS and because so few are allowed to transfer in at UIUC, it is toorisky for me to go General Studies.

At the U. of C. Laboratory Schools, 14 of 120 students — about 12 percent
of the graduating class of 2012 — went to Ivies, according to a tally by
the student newspaper. Director David Magill said many of those students
have parents who attended Ivy League schools.
Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in Aurora, about 8 percent of the
graduating class of 195 enrolled in Ivy League schools.
-------------
Only three of the schools had more than 2 percent of their graduating class attending Ivies: Northside College Prep, a selective-enrollment school in
Chicago; Hinsdale Central High School in DuPage County; and New Trier, on
the North Shore.

理學書獃子的競選”。他寫於2012年的這篇38頁長文《美國任人唯賢的神話》(TheMyth of AmericanMeritocracy)在美國教育界如同重磅炸彈，其翔實的資料(有120處引文)
