[quote=Anonymous]While I'm all for transparency, I can see why this isn't something most schools release. It's just going to be more confusing than helpful: - Compared to colleges (and maybe some boarding schools), private day schools still are in the realm of small numbers. Even relatively minor changes in application pool #s can have this outsized-looking effect on the admit %. - Non-entry grades can drive the admit % way down because maybe there's no attrition and they admit one sibling. By comparison, entry grades in the same division where the yield is super uncertain can drive the rate up. So do you aggregate or disaggregate those? I could argue both ways. - Not all schools handle financial aid and admissions decisions the same way, which can make comparing admit rates between schools functionally impossible. (And this is just off the top of my head.) [/quote]
