[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone in a recent post linked to this Bethesda Magazine article showing where Bethesda area school seniors applied and were admitted (and for the first year, where they enrolled). Having too much time on my hands, I created lists of schools that received at least 50 applications and broke them down into categories. https://moco360.media/2022/09/13/here-are-the-colleges-where-bethesda-area-high-school-grads-applied-got-accepted-and-enrolled/ Bethesda-Area High School Applicants 2021-2022 Many limitations of course! Schools reporting: Bethesda-Chevy Chase, Walt Whitman ,and Walter Johnson in Bethesda; Albert Einstein in Kensington; Winston Churchill in Potomac; Richard Montgomery and Thomas S. Wootton in Rockville; and Montgomery Blair in Silver Spring. • • Self-report admits • First year with self-report enrollment • Limited to schools with at least 50 applicants from these schools • No way to know if it’s the same student getting in everywhere, overshooting everywhere, schools are using yield protection, etc. My arbitrary categories: Very high reach schools: admit less than 10% High reach: admit less than 20% Reach: admit less than 40% Target: admit 40 – 67% Safety: admit 68% or more Most Popular Private Universities Northeastern University 544 19% 21% High Reach Cornell University 495 9% 59% Very High Reach Boston University 475 29% 19% Reach New York University 467 17% 56% High Reach University of Pennsylvania 456 7% 60% Very High Reach Johns Hopkins University 440 5% 62% Very High Reach Brown University 376 5% 74% Very High Reach The George Washington University 366 46% 19% Target American University 361 32% 23% Reach Northwestern University 359 9% 61% Very High Reach Duke University 346 8% 62% Very High Reach Columbia University 327 4% 83% Very High Reach Carnegie Mellon University 313 13% 63% High Reach Harvard University 293 3% 70% Very High Reach Vanderbilt University 291 9% 33% Very High Reach University of Southern California 287 15% 21% High Reach Stanford University 280 4% 67% Very High Reach Syracuse University 280 48% 10% Target Yale University 280 3% 56% Very High Reach Princeton University 275 5% 67% Very High Reach Boston College 253 24% 25% Reach Washington University in St. Louis 248 14% 54% High Reach Emory University 243 19% 45% High Reach University of Miami 242 36% 29% Reach Georgetown University 232 24% 45% Reach Case Western Reserve University 212 33% 15% Reach University of Chicago 207 7% 67% Very High Reach Tulane University 198 21% 45% Reach Massachusetts Institute of Technology 195 6% 73% Very High Reach Drexel University 190 72% 13% Safety Fordham University 178 68% 8% Safety Howard University 165 30% 30% Reach Dartmouth College 160 8% 67% Very High Reach Rice University 144 13% 28% High Reach Loyola University Maryland 143 60% 20% Target University of Rochester 143 43% 16% Target Villanova University 133 18% 21% High Reach Wake Forest University 129 22% 39% Reach Elon University 127 76% 14% Safety University of Richmond 113 26% 14% Reach University of Tampa 107 41% 14% Target Lehigh University 102 22% 18% Reach McDaniel College 102 60% 13% Target Bucknell University 94 31% 24% Reach Rochester Institute of Technology 83 55% 15% Target Stevenson University 79 48% 24% Target California Institute of Technology 78 8% 50% Very High Reach The Catholic University of America 68 54% 32% Target [/quote] What are the numbers?[/quote] From Bethesda and vicinity, number of applicants, admit rate, and yield rate I think.[/quote]
