[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top colleges know which are the ultra competitive private and public schools. They know what Andover, Exeter, Trinity, Stuyvesant or Brooklyn Tech means and they consistently target these schools more heavily than the mediocre privates or publics. [/quote] +1 At most of these ultra-elite schools the top 30%-50% enrolls at at ivy or ivy equivalent. [/quote] This is completely insane to think about but it is true. I know Trinity and Andover send something like 40%+ to the ivies + Stanford, MIT, Duke, Chicago. [/quote] I'm a Trinity grad and from my graduating class in the 90's about one-third went to ivies (all ivies) and Stanford. I get the alumni magazine and it's about the same now. Impressive since it's so much harder to get into these schools but they are not sending 50% to ivies.[/quote]
