What 21 High Schools Reveal About Harvard’s Admissions Process

ASMSA Executive Director Corey Alderdice unpacks the startling statistic that 1 in 11 Harvard undergraduates come from just 21 high 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.For additional thoughts from Corey, visit coreyalderdice.com.You can also follow him on Twitter/X, LinkedIn, BlueSky, YouTube, Instagram, and Threads.
