[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah that list is interesting - with the exception of NYU there doesn't seem to be any huge advantage to HW. Really shocked that 26 applications to UNC netted 0 acceptances - what's going on there?? Or Stanford, wouldn't you think they'd have more than 7 acceptances out of 86 applications? Same with UVA, Princeton, MIT, Harvard - these numbers don't look out of line with what you'd expect from any HS.

Yield protection for UNC. They know HW kids aren’t going to attend. [/quote]

Keep telling yourself that BS.  UNC may very well be the most selective public school for OOS applicants in the country.  [/quote]

Why so defensive? It’s likely true. HW kids are not going to be interested in UNC, for the most part.

LA is not at all like DC. You sound provincial. [/quote]

Look, moron, 26 kids from the school applied to UNC.  So clearly somebody is interested.  [/quote]

They may have applied there, but they weren’t going to go if admitted. They know that. UNC knows that. HW knows that. Can we stop with the delusions here? [/quote]

Again, the OOS acceptance rate for UNC is 8.2 percent.  [/quote]

Sure. And none of those kids were going to go to UNC. It was the “cast a wide net” approach that a lot of kids do.

You don’t seem very familiar with the population of HW. [/quote]

There's no arguing with someone who stubbornly insists in the face of actual contrary data that their opinion means fact.  Your statement that none of the 26 applicants in the last three years who applied to UNC got in is only because of yield protection is unknowable opinion.  The FACT is that given UNC's OOS acceptance rate had more than 2 of the 26 gotten in HW would be ahead of the curve.

I have zero connection to UNC and don't give a flying fig about the school but the idea that it has to reject everyone from HW to protect its yield is preposterous and arrogant as well as completely unprovable.  [/quote]
