The Elite Apple Juice And Graham Cracker Institution

Here's a giant fuck you to the Trinity School in New York, which is more difficult to get into than Harvard. Because trust fund babies and aristocratic little snot-noses need to start somewhere, right? The Week has this sickening statistical comparison:

• Number of kindergarten seats at the Trinity School, "one of New York's most competitive schools": 62

• Number of applicants for those 62 seats: 762

• Number of kindergarten seats automatically filled by siblings of Trinity students: 33

• Number of kindergarten seats that automatically went to children of alumni, "who also get a leg up": 11

• Number of kindergarten seats that automatically went to the child of a Trinity staff member: 1

• Number of spaces remaining for the 711 prospective kindergarteners from families with no previous ties to Trinity: 17

• Percentage chance that each of those prospective kindergarteners would secure one of the 17 remaining seats: 2.4

• Percentage acceptance rate at Harvard University: 6.4

• Number of freshmen admitted into Harvard's fall class: 2,158

• Number of applicants for that class: 34,950

• Cost of yearly tuition at Trinity School: $36,870

• Cost of yearly tuition at Harvard University: $36,305
