[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a school to be truly selective, acceptance rate, yield rate, and student stats all should be all high. WP has elite level acceptance rate(9%) and HYPMS level yield rate, but student stats are very mediocre. Limited spots(little over 1k) and Zero cost probably drive up the acceptance rate and yield rate. Also when you apply for these kinds of school, you have very high interest of committing, thus high yield. Apparently high stat kids are not interested in the school and the kind of lifestyle. [/quote] My kid's Class of 2021 from TJ sent four kids to Service Academies and I know two from TJ Class of 2022. 2021 Rhodes Scholars - 4 from West Point, only Harvard and Yale got more. But I have the feeling nothing would convince you that you might be biased here - for sure not for everyone, but don't assume all "high stat" kids aren't interested.[/quote]
