[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which among HYPSM do TJ kids have more success with admissions? Which are more popular to apply to?[/quote]

I would say of all of those, Stanford receives the fewest applications from TJ and also the fewest admits. The other four see roughly similar application numbers at the moment because the applicants are still coming from the old TJ admissions process, which tended to produce prestige-oriented families rather than an appropriate focus on fit. I think Yale tends to admit the fewest, MIT the most, and the other two are largely toss-ups.[/quote]

This sounds about right... pulling from the information as reported in the senior issues of TJ Today for class of 2019, 2022, and 2023 (I don't have 2020 or 2021, anyone have the links?) the average attending per year were:
6.3 MIT
5.0 Harvard
4.3 Princeton
4.0 Yale
2.7 Stanford

Also the total per year varied... 24 in 2019, 29 in 2022, vs. only 14 in 2023. TBD obviously for 2024.[/quote]

Two things are worth noting here:

1) The senior issue of tjTODAY, while it is the best public source of information about schools attended, is very incomplete. In the past several years it has been missing about 100 students each because it relies on self-reporting.

2) TJ is the sort of place where a student can be admitted to Harvard, Princeton, and Yale but attend none of them. Those numbers (incomplete as they are) represent students who matriculated or planned on doing so, not those who were admitted.[/quote]
