[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the more complete list that was posted on the other board.  Looks plenty impressive to me in what many TJ students considered a weaker class than the previous class of 2016.

Interesting data on Georgia Tech.  Great STEM school...popular amongst TJ grads to apply (111).  Even though 35 were accepted, only 1 chose to attend?  Is that a misprint or is that just odd?[/quote]

It's not a misprint.  But it is unusual.  It was an off year for GA Tech attendance.  TJ usually has more kids choose to go. 6 each in the 2 prior years. I think this year was just an anomaly.

Also, too add to the list:

U Illinois UC (6 in Engineering):  68/48/11
Purdue (9 in Engineering)  71/46/7
RPI: 43/27/3
Harvey Mudd 11/4/2
[b]U of Chicago: 67/12/6[/quote][/b]

That was quite an oversight by the OP not to mention that 12 got into U.Chicago, what's that about 18-19% or so? [/quote]

OP kinda cherry picked the data.  And failed to account for top 10 Engineering admits. [/quote]
