[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most overrepresented student at Yale is the private school graduate. By far. That will NEVER change.[/quote]

64% of matriculants came from public high schools.
36% of matriculants came from independent day, boarding, and religious schools.

when you say "by far" what does that mean?

I just looked up Swarthmore they have almost exactly the same breakdown 36 percent independent/religious…[/quote]

MIT is 14%
Stanford is 27%
Princeton 35% 
Harvard 37%

This is misleading.

MIT is 68% public school. Yale is 64% public school..

MIT is 14% private, 8% religious. 9% foreign, 1% home, and 1% other.  See how you have to add those all up to get 100% (a little over for rounding)?

Yale doesn't do that. It's 64% public and 36% of matriculants came from independent day, boarding, and religious schools. Religious schools are private schools. Home school is too. International and homeschool are in those numbers (almost all international are private).

Unless you're going to actually do the work, it's probably easier to look at public school period. [/quote]
