[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its interesting that WL got kids into Harvard, Yale, Stanford and MIT. But they were shut out of lesser Ivies like Cornell, Brown and totally shut out of Williams, Amherst, Wellesley, Northwestern, and nearly shut out of the Claremont colleges. That might be different applicants applying to those schools , but it might also be[b] legacy preference [/b]and different schools valuing different hooks. [/quote]

Actually, I think it may be more about driving up the yield percentage for reporting to USNWR purposes.  The smaller slacs have this on their mind all the time.  Hence more use of ED1, ED2, EA, etc. etc.  They want to lock in those kids early so they have a high yield.  The top ivies know the kids are coming anyhow so care less.  Their yield is going to be high so they focus on other matters.[/quote]

Yes I see. Thank you. This chart doesn’t break it down by ED or not, which would be really helpful info to have. In hindsight, I wish my DC who just graduated from WL had done ED. Her stats were higher than the admitted stats for some Top 20 schools. We are full pay, so we could have done ED but she didn’t want to. [b]I regret not working harder in the summer and fall to zero in on a top choice to ED to.[/b] [/quote]

LOL it isn't you going to college.  I applaud your kid for resisting your pressure.[/quote]

Yeah the kids who EDd into a Top 10 school applaud her too. [/quote]
