[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The WSJ "study" looked at the freshman classes at 8 schools: Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Williams, Pomona, Swarthmore, the University of Chicago and Johns Hopkins So . . . No Yale. And for that matter, no Columbia, Penn, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell. No Stanford. No Duke. No Amherst (but Williams). Pomona, but no Claremont McKenna (if we're thinking West Coast), or Middlebury, Bowdoin, Wellesley, Haverford, Davidson (if we're not confined to the West Coast). MIT, but no Cal Tech. Johns Hopkins, but no Northwestern, Rice, Wash U., Vanderbilt. Essentially, while indicating to some degree which high schools send grads to some very selective school, it also is highly skewed by what schools have geographic or other ties with a particular college/university. [/quote] I see some California schools on that list that would have even higher admission rates if you took into account Stanford -- still the in-state favorite.[/quote]
