Study of elite college Admissions

[Anonymous]

Not sure if this was posted already but this study is intersting.
Key take aways....
Georgetown, Emory, Vanderbilt, USC, and Dartmouth (in this order) have the highest percentage of wealthy students applying to their schools

Stanford, Penn, Yale, Columbia, and Dartmouth (in this order) have the highest percentage of wealthy students attending their schools.

Anyone surprised by this?

I think this shows schools that care more about wealth than diversity, and where is might be an advantage to be full pay.

The findings start on page 121 btw.

The kids getting into Stanford, Penn, Yale, Columbia and Dartmouth are not getting in because they are full pay, they are getting in because a year's tuition is pocket change to them

Same thing. And I agree with both of you.

This is why state flagships are seeing more and more high stats students.

Again their is a ceiling as publics are only discounted for instate students. Colleges in states with population growth will benefit Texas, Georgia etc. Umich and UCs will suffer.

Georgetown and Emory being most applied to is also surprising. They're clearly is everyone's radar. They likely don't yeild them though.

Not the same thing; I think that you missed the point of the study.

I am not understanding the connection to OP's post. I doubt things have changed much in the last 20-30 years in terms of what they are posting about. Nothing of what they post is likely "new" news.

What year was the study done / published ? TIA

You read the OP? Where it says it is data on Applicants and not admissions results?
