Since the rise of tech I actually think Harvard, MIT and Stanford have become the top 3 for the most ambitious kids. Harvard was fortunate because Zuckerberg started Facebook and pulled a lot of Harvard alums in with him. Yale may be the shakiest because they have the weakest CS/tech but they have recently poured resources in to fix it and of course they have such a dominant law school. Princeton mysteriously seems to maintain its status no matter how the winds blow so kudos to them for that. |

The "HYPSM" jargon is almost completely attributable to the crazed college admissions industries in Asia (East and South) and the recent immigrants and their children who rely on that industry to inform their understanding of American colleges. And since they come from developing countries, they think computer science and engineering are the only avenues of higher learning. |

News to me. The Big 3 parents all are recent immigrants from East and South Asia? I thought there are enough parents of other races there. |

GDS is pretty transparent about this information. |

Many “qualified” kids don’t get into schools that they want to attend. However, there are many paths to happiness and most of them don’t involve the Ivy League. |

Of course there are multiple possible paths to happiness, but some offer greater margins for error than others. |

It's surprising how other schools are not so transparent. It's as if they are a bit embarrassed to announce the results, lest people conclude that the schools are slipping. |

If you call the below information transparent, the word certainly has a new meaning! Nobody can dispute that. https://www.gds.org/academics/college-counseling/matriculation-map GDS College Matriculation, 2015–2018 |

+1000 The information for GDS per year matriculation comes out in their fall magazine. STA's is grouped for 4 to 5 years and one can only infer averages from the web site. |

They publish annual matriculation stats in their alumni magazine. |

STA does the same in their alumni magazine. Hopefully no one posts it here. |

The only things more irritating than the stupid troll on this thread are the insufferable GDS parents thinking their school does something unique. |
