No it is matriculation. Why must posters speak about things they do not have information about? The above is the correct information - yes 11 are ATTENDING Univ of Chicago from 2022. The other information for ivies is also correct. Yes the above is for where they are attending. |

You are trying to give input on something you clearly have no information about. Yes we are all aware of how acceptances vs. matriculations work. The above is the matriculation list. 11 boys from 2022 are currently at university of Chicago. |

If this list is correct, then 9 of the top 10 are NYC area private schools. The Top 10 boarding schools for Ivy League matriculation (based on the list above) are: 1) St. Paul's School Concord, New Hampshire 24% (100% boarding school--50/50 male/female) 2) Phillips Academy at Andover (Massachusetts) 22% 3) Lawrenceville School (New Jersey) 22% 4) St. Albans Wash DC 22% 5) Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire 215 6) Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts 21% 7) Hotchkiss School (Connecticut) 21% 8) Groton School in Massachusetts 21% 9) Milton Academy in Massachusetts 20% 10) Choate Rosemary Hall in Conecticut 19% Not certain, but I believe that St. Paul's School in New Hampshire is the only school on this list of 10 boarding schools which does not enroll day students. SPS offers grades 9 through 12 (No PG year) and has about 540 students total. The Groton School offers grades 8 through 12 and has the second largest percentage of boarding students. Andover (Phillips Academy) has about 75% boarding / 25% day student mix. Over 1,000 students total including PGs. |

| CORRECTION: Exeter should read "21%" (not 215). |

Development admits matter, that's what these lists show. |

Partially correct, but getting into and graduating schools like Andover, Exeter, St. Paul's, and Groton is not easy. So much pressure at Andover (Phillips Academy) to do well academically that suicide watch & prevention is a major concern. However, this issue is most pronounced at Andover to the best of my knowledge. My point is that whether or not students from these schools have significant family donor potential, the students are very well qualified academically for intense academics in college. |

Agree with this 100%. I've spent a good deal of time on the Boarding School board on College Confidential and the types of kids that Andover and similar admit are really impressive. They pretty much all have 95%+ SSAT scores (which is not easy to do--my kids who are strong students at a local Big3 were not able to get above 80% when they applied---it's a harder test than the PSAT) and they have extracurricular/award lists in 9th grade that would trump most Ivy applicants' lists. Plus a large percentage are on aid so they're the opposite of generationally privileged. And then they have to do high school without any local parental support. Again, I don't think my kids could do this-- we bail them out in small ways all the time. |

What would be the value to the university of taking 15 kids with Asian surnames from the same high school? |

That might happen if they were working solely off GPAs or some other quantitative criteria. BUt they don't. They can use whatever secret sauce they like to compose their next freshman class. Trying to beat that from outside is just about impossible without legacies or athletic recruitments. |

Re these the self reported stats from Niche? |

Huh? There could be tremendous value, depending on what those kids do. But I am also so sick of the idea that the system is unfair, rigged or racist if a school doesn’t take the top 15 GPA and test scores, which I would argue you can’t even know bc each kid takes a different schedule of classes. Top colleges admit holistically so they are free to choose kids with best essays, LOR, community service or whatever they deem as building the best holistic admission application. |
