[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How was college placement in 2012?

Did it improve over years' past?[/quote]

30% of the Bullis class of 2012 [b]are attending[/b] top 35 (USNWR) liberal arts schools or national universities including: Brown, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell (2), Dartmouth, Georgetown (4), Hamilton, Haverford, Michigan (5), NYU (2), UNC Chapel Hill, Princeton, Trinity, Tufts, Vanderbilt (2), UVA (4), Washington and Lee, Wash U (2), Wesleyan and Yale.

College matriculation for class of 2011 was quite good but there weren't as many Ivies.[/quote]

The USNW rankings for national universities and liberal arts schools are separate -- 35 schools in each category.  So 30% of Bullis students are attending the top 70 schools. If you flip the stat, 70% of the graduating class are NOT attending the top 70 college destinations.[/quote]

Your statement is incoherent.

Any of the schools I've listed are in the top 35 of their respective rankings - either Liberal Arts Colleges or National Universities. A third of the class attending top 35 schools is impressive in anyone's book except yours maybe.[/quote]

Let's restate.  There are two lists: Liberal Arts Colleges and National Universities.  You appear to have counted the 70 total colleges/universities that make into the top 35 on either list, and then are trumpeting that 30% of Bullis students were able to get into these 70 schools.  That also means 70% of Bullis couldn't get into the top 70 colleges/universities in the US.  Quite underwhelming.[/quote]
