[quote=Anonymous]If you are trying to pick a school and looking at their college admissions- don't. because the legacy, minority status etc factors make it too difficult to interpret the results. Instead: look at the number of nat merit semifinalists for the past 5 years. that will tell you if they have good teaching and smart kids. if your child is smart and hard working and can benefit from the teaching then pick that school- then when you are at the school, find out where the smartest kids are legacies and DONT apply there early, because it will be hard to compete with the legacy . at ncs 2 girls who were minority and legacy and NOT in the top 20% for grades in the class still got into harvard. so that gives you some idea. legacy matters.
