[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]means if brown accepts 9% of its total applicants it is unlikely to stray above that for a school or area unless there are some very very strong candidates. 
9% of 130 or 9% of 500. 9%. [/quote]

In the case of applicants from GDS the Ivies clearly go materially above their average acceptance rate.[/quote]

That's not true, and I'm a GDS parent. 11 (.09*125) GDS students did NOT get accepted to Brown this year. And the ones who do get accepted are all legacies, URM or athletes. The only reason GDS has a 3-5 kids going to Harvard/Yale each year is because so many of them are legacies. There are many other kids who are H/Y legacies who do NOT get in, and good luck getting in if you don't fall into one of those 3 above hooked categories.

There are some top schools which have a history of liking GDS kids (Penn, Wash U, NYU, Tufts), and the top SLACs like GDS kids - especially boys.

College admissions should not be the principal reason why you're sending your kid to GDS.
