Which level kid goes to which schools

Every alum I know refers to school as “Hopkins”, not JHU.

And Georgetown is GU, not GT.

My kid got in but turned down for an Ivy.

Really didn’t want to be in Baltimore.

Doubtful

TBH, JHU yield rate is not as high.

Midwest privates definitely get kids closer to top 40% of class into Michigan, WashU, Emory etc. This whole exercise is so school specific.

This is categorically false, unless you are in-state for Michigan. Otherwise unhooked kids are near the top of the class.
