[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dalton sent a ton of kids to Vanderbilt which has lower percentage of acceptance than Harvard right now. HYP are in some flux, curious to see whether the numbers trend in this direction. A friend of mine’s daughter went to Duke over Harvard and Yale.[/quote]

Vandy is no where near as selective as Harvard/Yale/Princeton or even most of the T10.  Still test optimal and low acceptance rate is due to Vandy having both ED1 and ED2 which Ivies don’t do.[/quote]

I think this is more a reflection of the dynamic where these schools, some more than others, are pushing unhooked kids towards good but non-HYP schools with ED1 as a risk-adjusted strategic move.  So that’s why you see a lot of Chicago/Duke/Vandy type of schools these days.  Horace Mann especially does this.[/quote]
I wonder what they do for kids in financial aid. Presumably, those universities are feasting on private school ED1 kids because they provide a good cash influx along with the strong-enough academics.[/quote]

Financial aid kids applying ED lose the opportunity to compare package but generally private schools (especially TT private schools) recommending ED to a particular college have got a good view into what level of financial assistance an applicant might receive. [/quote]
