I think this is the first time seeing someone say Chapin in 1T. No way it is on the same level as Brearley.

Certain schools create instagram pages for college decisions where each kid posts a baby pic, their chosen college, and their intended major. The school write a caption with little spiel of inside jokes about that student and what the college gains as a result. I’d post the one I have access to here, but there are minors and their names, and it’s kinda screwed up to post that to a site of bloodthirsty parents. But yeah, it’s about as reliable as it gets.

Does anyone actually have any idea how these things work? Or is it just rampant, perpetual speculation from the outside?

I have it for Horace Mann---they share it with parents.

I’m the pp - i have it for dalton, and since i’m a trinity alum, i have access to trinity, but haven’t checked it.

Honestly, people on this board are hilarious. It’s completely plausible that Chapin sent 33% of its students this year to ivies if their 5 year average is 27% as has already been proven by their current matriculation chart that is currently up on their website. They have 60 kids in their graduating classes so 27% would be 16 kids out of 60 vs 33% which is 20 kids out of 60. That’s the difference of four students. Both percentages are top tier numbers.
Considering these students are all female, makes for an even stronger case to send your daughters to one of the top all girls schools. No one on this chat is saying Chapin is better than Brearley simply that Chapin is top tier.

Huh? Since the olden, olden days of UrbanBaby, Spence, Chapin, and Brearley have always all been considered TT schools. Brearley always a slight cut above the rest, but all of them have been "TT" since as long as the TT moniker has been used.


100 correct, thank you.

If you count University of Chicago which some on this board have when referring to Ivy League caliber, their percentage is 33%, if you go strictly by the Ivies it’s 24%. Amazing that they sent 24 to Columbia. Impressive.

Chapin 2024

About 20% Ivy bound.
If you take Cornell out (easy to get in for NY), then it's about 10%.

Not really, Columbia is known as a diploma mill and were previously in a U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges ranking scandal when a professor called them out.

Has something happened to the site? It used to be genuine inquiries into schools in NYC. Over night it’s become conspiracy theorists and unhinged super-aggro weirdos saying columbia is a diploma mill? Seriously? What?And the rest are people saying getting 20% a student body into Ivy Leagues is tier two or pretending to understand admissions processes and selection?

Honestly, WTF? Did something happen?

Great site, but adieu, urbanmom.

I don't know, but it's not new this year. The list is from the last three years, so the 60 is spread out over that period.

Great site, but adieu, urbanmom.

A lot of NYC moms have migrated here from chat boards we've been using since Urban Baby was sold in 2007 or so. The most recent iteration has been ruined by a troll, so DCUM it is. The demographic skews to moms of HS and college kids, and this is what we fight about now.

Brown: 2

Columbia: 1

28%.

If you add in the 3 from the University of Chicago as others were doing on this particular chat for the Dalton percentage as it’s considered “ivy caliber” it climbs to 33%.

I think it’s all good and any of those percentages I will take and consider TT.

Among the figures that go into these subscores, the most heavily weighted are graduation rates. U.S. News tells us that (a) 96% of Columbia undergraduates graduate in six years or less, and that (b) the same is true of 95% of undergraduates who held a Pell grant (a government subsidy for needy students) and (c) of 97% of those who did not. Fully 22.6% of the weight in the entire U.S. News ranking rests on these three figures alone. Clearly, U.S. News regards graduation rates as highly representative of the overall quality of a university.

One might be tempted to infer that Columbia is structurally similar to Harvard, Yale, and Princeton and has succeeded in competing with them on their own terms. This is far from being true, however. Columbia is profoundly different from its rivals in that it enrolls an enormous number of transfer students, who are not included in the figures above.

Columbia reported to the government that in Fall 2020, over 30% of its incoming undergraduates were transfer students. This is a larger proportion than at any other Tier I private university (see chart).33 Transfer students at Columbia are mostly enrolled in the School of General Studies, where more than 75% of all students arrive with some transfer credit, but the School of Engineering’s 3-2 Combined Plan may also contribute significant numbers of transfer students.
