probably the most intelligent approach i’ve seen - LACs will probably start appearing in the 30s or 40s |
Any school that is test optional should never be in the top 10-20. With test scores starting to come back it should be one of the main ranking criteria: everyone submits scores and 100% of applicants are in the reported average. |
my kiddo said that no one in her friend group would ever choose Penn over Vandy - only Duke and HYPSM - but her group isn’t hard core academic - they are mostly the bright charismatic athletic/ leaders who like to have fun |
There’s some incongruity in how you describe your kid and her friends, and MIT. |
Nothing of what you say makes much sense. If they would pick HYPSM over Vandy then they are prestige seekers because those aren’t “fun” schools. Also, doesn’t sound like your kid and their friends is getting into any of these schools…so maybe they should set their sights on Alabama and similar places. |
What year are these yields from? People keep posting outdated yields on here in an attempt to boost certain schools. |
This “study” was from last year |
If you take out state schools, which are good schools at good value but not the similar category as top privates then its same 20 schools which keep shuffling rankings. |
TOP 20 RANK
Stanford University Stanford, CA Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MA Harvard University Cambridge, MA Princeton University Princeton, NJ Yale University New Haven, CT Columbia University New York City, NY University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA Brown University Providence, RI Northwestern University Evanston, IL University of Chicago Chicago, IL University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI University of Notre Dame Notre Dame, IN University of Southern California Los Angeles,CA Vanderbilt University Nashville, TN Dartmouth College Hanover, NH Duke University Durham, NC John Hopkins University Baltimore, MD Cornell University Ithaca, NY Rice, Houston, TX Georgetown, DC |
Always question the data. There is no way they could’ve gotten statistically significant data on cross yields. Therefore, this list is useless. |
Agreed. Source of data questionable. |
Which school is the OP promoting? |
It is. OP should have looked up the reputation of the issuing entity before posting. just look at wiki! it's not good |
Crimson attract the international prestige whores like no other.
Cross admit percentages might be interesting from a large, national sample. But a cross section from a handful of Crimson’s suckered families? Oh my. This is a new low. |
Well it tells how people who care most about prestige choose |
