PP considered only Yale, not all Ivies, so both of you are correct.[/quote]

Look at Arlington County publics. Arlington Magazine. Out of 4 high schools - 2,000 seniors only 0-2 total students are admitted to one of the Ivies, Duke, etc any give year.  [/quote]

Here’s the link:

I can’t believe this actually needs to be said, but…

Arlington Magazine doesn’t report ALL admissions (or matriculations).

It’s self-reported data.

This. I don’t understand others not understanding this. [/quote]

Do you really think there are all of these Ivy acceptances that didn’t get reported?[/quote]

Bless her heart [/quote]

This. People turn down ivies for full rides elsewhere or better programs for their major (cmu for cs over an ivy).[/quote]

Yes it’s why nobody from APS went to Princeton last year :).  Which has the best need based blind aid in the US [/quote]

Need based…yes…but donut hole families don’t qualify for that…but they do at top 20s that offer free rides. You are making things up. I know families who have turned ivies down for free rides elsewhere. Smart[/quote]

Merit based free ride at T20 is extremely rare.
Need based discount, sure. First Gen, maybe.

For others, maybe half tuition. [/quote]

My kid is at a top 20. Several friends turned down ivies for free rides. They offer huge incentives beyond just tuition. These kids are wooed away from ivies. You’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise. But I am not arguing with someone who uses a belief to make a statement like it’s a fact.  [/quote]

My kids are both at non-Ivy T20 schools. Most of the non-Ivies do offer some merit scholarships, but they are incredibly difficult to get. But all of these students have incredible options. Any MC or UMC student getting into these schools usually has a gazillion options - including free rides for four years at the state flagship. And obviously a lot of talented students are going to choose that option or a merit scholarship at a non-Ivy rather than pay $400,000 for Brown.

At this price point - a $100,000 per year - nearly every family is looking at all the options. And if Brown doesn't offer merit for talented students or is not great with FA, well, yeah, there are going to be a lot of smart students that choose elsewhere. [/quote]

Yield rate:
Brown 73%, 845 students chose elsewhere
Columbia 61%, 841 chose elsewhere
Cornell: 64%, 1,842 chose elsewhere
Dartmouth: 71%, 617 chose elsewhere
Harvard: 85%,  328 chose elsewhere
Princeton: 75%, 453 chose elsewhere
Yale: 68%, 746 chose elsewhere

6,853 declined a particular Ivy. Of that number, I would have to guess that the majority (probably a substantial majority) chose another Ivy or Stanford/MIT/Caltech.[/quote]

There are probably at least a dozen schools that would consistently be chosen over the lower half of Ivy[/quote]

Other than Stanford, MIT, Caltech...finding the other 9 would be tough.[/quote]

+1[/quote]
