[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This probably depends on what field the [unhooked] kids are going into.  Brearley is still very strong in the humanities, and a graduate is  guaranteed to have a level of verbal polish (and almost guaranteed to have a liberal lean).  Theater is mandatory for a reason.  And for STEM fields, girls with high level of aptitude are desirable, so 1 or 2 top math girls have reasonably good prospects (similarly to other top privates and publics).  At least that's my rough extrapolation from the few happy outcomes I am familiar with.[/quote]

Almost the entire grade is filled with happy outcomes, unless you mean happy outcomes only with respect to HYP.  Then it's only about 20% of the class that has happy outcomes in that narrow sense.[/quote]
I mean unhooked kids going to HYP. 
 
To your general point, I'd say there is still a sizeable portion of B. seniors (maybe 30%?) who may not quite be going to where they (or their parents) were hoping for them to go.  That of course speaks to their ambition, and the matriculations are no doubt very impressive![/quote]

Yes, no doubt that is true.  I knew a very lovely (unhooked) girl from there who seemed very smart, 36 ACT, almost perfect grades and she was shut out of HYP.  She ended up at Penn, while I believe her top choice was Yale.[/quote]
