[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kenyon College seems to be the HW safety school as 30 of 33 were admitted over the past 3 years (the 3 declines were probably due to yield protection concerns). HW does well with Columbia University and Duke, but not Northwestern (only 6 of 102 accepted).[/quote] What's interesting about Northwestern is that they seem to take some kids within the median of the class. It seems like you don't have to be at the tippy-top at HW to get into a T10 school, although it certainly helps.[/quote] Northwestern took just one student over three application cycles that appears to have earned just slightly above a 4.0 GPA. The safe schools for those at this level are, surprisingly, Carleton College 4 of 4 accepted, Kenyon College 8 of 8 accepted, U Wisconsin, University of St. Andrew's, McGill,Oberlin 5/5, Lehigh 2/2,and several others.[/quote]
