What is the 4th top Ivy? Never heard of that. |
Well then they rage and troll at the schools their kid couldn’t get into. Just wait…. |
“Public high school graduates, by region, state …” shows Virginia had 92,160 graduates in one year.  This doesn’t even include private or religious schools. |
Yield rate: Brown 73%, 845 students chose elsewhere Columbia 61%, 841 chose elsewhere Cornell: 64%, 1,842 chose elsewhere Dartmouth: 71%, 617 chose elsewhere Harvard: 85%, 328 chose elsewhere Princeton: 75%, 453 chose elsewhere Yale: 68%, 746 chose elsewhere 6,853 declined a particular Ivy. Of that number, I would have to guess that the majority (probably a substantial majority) chose another Ivy or Stanford/MIT/Caltech. |

“A lot” doesn’t really apply when you have 80%+ yields at schools like Harvard. |
Or Oxford/Cambridge or another international university. American universities are $$--not every int'l student admitted can attend. |
Can you tell me episode this was? I've listed to most/all of them and I do not remember them saying this specifically. What I do remember them saying is (something to the effect): Once you've cleared an academic threshold, which is a combination of grades, rigor and testing, that they move on to other sections of your application, rarely ever returning to discuss the academics. As such, the difference between a 1530 and a 1570 means very little. |
They don’t take all their students through ED and multiple rounds like Chicago and Hopkins and Vandy. Most are also turning down other Ivies. My kid got into 3, you can only attend 1. Legacy will also apply to others as back-up. There is somebody on this board that has a very limited cognitive ability. |
Yep- the Harvard declines are Yale or Princeton legacy lol |

Yes, this is a point they hammer home. |
Good luck thinking Vanderbilt is an easy admit. And please do tell - what is your pretty small high school that is getting 18 admits to Chicago? |
St Albans |
Matriculations, not acceptances. |
