[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Number of applicants rejected by Ivy League universities this year:

Harvard: 32,000
Princeton: 25,000
Yale: 29,000
Cornell: 37,000
Dartmouth: 17,000

In all seriousness, where do you think these kids - most of whom are qualified enough to at least take a shot at Ivy admission - end up?

Duke, Georgetown, Wash U., JHU, UVA, of course. But a lot of them want to go to New England colleges, and if they don't get into the Ivy League, they go to the NESCAC.

Trinity has fallen in ranks of NESCAC prestige, to the point where I don't think it's above Colby and Bates as someone said above. But this idea that it - or any NESCAC school - doesn't enroll many students who were rejected from Ivy League schools doesn't reflect a realistic understanding of the contemporary college admissions market.[/quote]

Duke (#7) is ranked comfortably ahead of Dartmouth and well ahead of Cornell (#16).  It's hard to imagine any circumstance in which Duke would be a fall back for a Cornell reject - usually the opposite. The same applies to JHU and WASH U  - both of which are ranked ahead of Cornell. Cornell is in the same athletic conference as Princeton Harvard Yale and a Columbia, but no knowledgeable person would consider them in the same " league."[/quote]
