[quote=Anonymous]An update was done at some point in the past two years. Noted that the Univ. of Chicago moved up "due to marketing".

That is all that I saw on the update.

Seems unusual to see Caltech so high on the list--outstanding school, but doesn't seem as though it would have mass appeal. Same for Wellesley College. Otherwise, it appears to be a reasonable list.

Maybe we should get two lists--one for LACs and one for National Universities--based on number of apps received focusing just on the schools listed. (That didn't work.)

Maybe just list most selective schools by pre-covid (2019) admission rates. And, of course, yield might help the disappointed Williams booster.

Yield for Fall, 2019 US News 1/25/2021:

LACs & National Universities which had a yield of 50% or higher:

I just included elite schools:

1) Harvard--82%
1) Stanford--82%
3) Chicago--81%
4) MIT--77%
5) Princeton--70%
5) Penn--70%
7) Yale--69%
8) Dartmouth--64%
9) Columbia--62%
10) Brown--61%
11) Cornell--60%
12) Notre Dame--58%
13) Northwestern--55%
14) Duke--54%

LACs

1) Barnard--62%
2) Bowdoin--59%
3) Pomona--54%
4) Claremont McKenna--52%
5) Bates--50%

Not sure why Williams & Amherst did not make the list. Probably fell a point or two below 50% for Fall, 2019 yield.[/quote]
