[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Columbia’s acceptance is around 7%. Cornell 12%.  St Albans’s college acceptance isn’ t that great.  A good student might get into Kenyon or UChicago.[/quote]

40 out of 80 or so went so went to Yale, Harvard, Chicago, Princeton, Columbia and Penn last year.  7 alone went to Yale.  Sorry, so wrong.  [/quote]

This is a bold face lie!  Don't believe the hype.[/quote]

Don’t know about 40/80, but the top 25% at STA get into Ivies, Stanford, MIT.  The next 25% go to SLACs, UCB, UCLA, UVA.  The bottom 59% go to strong schools - think Top 50 — but not necessarily the most competitive schools.

The last several years, the top 25% at STA and NCS have done better at college placement than the top 25% at Sidwell or GDS. some will argue that this is due to a legacy and wealth factor, but those are also present at GDS and Sidwell.  [/quote]

The number one school top STA boys feed into is University of Chicago, 38 in the past five years to be exact. That is about 7 students per year and is the number one school for STA grads by more than double of any other school.

The bottom 60% do not attend top 50 schools, sorry. They attend top 150 or less. Think University of Maryland, American University, Miami University, Elon, Wofford College, Indiana University, College of Wooster, Hillsdale College, Montgomery College, Penn State, St. John's College, College of Charleston, Catholic University, GW University, Auburn University, Drew University, University of Colorado Boulder, Sewanee: University of the South, Southern Methodist, University of Vermont, and St. Mary's College of Maryland just to name a few attended by STA grads. There is a big difference between the top students who attend great colleges and the remaining majority (60%) who attend very average colleges. STA may get to hand select their students,  but they don't all end up at top universities.
