[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is... Assuming the Yale admit didn’t also get into 50% of the others too (which, of course, s/he likely would if s/he applied, so it’s really a question of how many s/he applied to)...[/quote]

Latin parent here.  That list was taken from a weekly communication from the head of school to parents and families.  The intention is clearly to highlight the achievements of an accomplished senior class and not just one kid.  Latin is a close-knit community.  The seniors and their parents (and lots of the juniors too) know who the Yale admit is and would recognize if half the list was the acceptances of that one kid.  [/quote]

Good to hear. I definitely wasn't trying to bash Latin. I just always worry about acceptance rather than attendance lists, since I know lots of high schools (including the one I went to) milk the stats of their top 2-3 performers to imply the overall class did better than it did.[/quote]

As hyper-charged as ED has gotten, that's going to be less and less possible. [/quote]
