What does a higher number of Martriculates say about the school,  popularity? Or easy admissions? UChicago is suspect to me. [/quote]

Someone posted that the average SAT at Andover is something like 1450.  Since they have so many high achieving students on scholarship (not wealthy) it is easy for the top schools to select students.  It's not like Andover has only been around for a few years.  Admissions officers know the quality of the curriculum and how Andover students perform.  So that and a combination of very wealthy/legacy/donor/ high achievers provides a perfect recipe to accept so many of its graduates.[/quote]
That's lower than expected. There's quite a few public magnet high school with similar SATS, and expected Andover to be in the 1500s.[/quote]

Andover has a student body with more of an academic range than you would think. A public magnet is going to take kids on scores alone. [/quote]
