The Princeton Review "Best 378 Colleges" has this information in each of its college profiles (most of them). Catholic colleges tend to have a pretty high percentage of private school students: More than half of the students at Boston College, Notre Dame, and Holy Cross went to private high schools.

Harvard is about 38 percent from private school.

Often, but not always true. For example, the Ivies, Duke, Stanford, etc. have their share of private school kids, however they also have very large endowments that allow them to award a lot of need based financial aid. This increases diversity at a school like, say, Princeton or Yale.

Lake Forest: feeder school for pre-school kids who don't get into top tier schools.

I would amend that to say the expensive but not highest tier. Like probably Hobart, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt. The kind of places that a talented middle class kid from public school would not choose over their good enough state university.

I would think very conservative and $$ schools like Sewanee would have high percentages.

Wake Forest has been drawing a lot of kids from MoCo public high schools in recent years.

Does Wake Forest give decent merit aid?

Isn't Wake and Vanderbilt each in the top 30 school list? "Not highest tier"....poster must have meant top 10?
