[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, these round out top 33:

13 in Ivy Plus
10 in New Private Ivies
10 in New Public Ivies

Notable #1: no UCs are among the New Public Ivies.
Notable #2: USAF is included, but USMA/USNA are not.[/quote]

There is something about the data which is why no UC schools are on the list.  I believe they won't include any test blind schools (why, I have no idea since it's supposed to be based on what recruiters say).[/quote]

It makes sense. It's hard to confirm student GPAs without any external check. I believe UCs are starting to accept AP scores but they need something since student lack of preparation is showing up and professors have expressed frustration (most recently at UC San Diego).[/quote]

But it's supposed to be based on recruiter feedback.  If recruiters hire tons of kids and are happy with them, not sure why it matters if they don't report SAT scores.

Again, they literally are not included by Forbes because of the lack of SAT scores...no other reason.[/quote]
