[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I am sure there are many students at Williams who wish they were at HYP, my dd turned down one of those Ivies, as well as other T10 universities, to go to Williams - and she knows a number of other kids who were in similar positions. Williams is a very specific school - you should go because you *want* to be there, not because you don't have higher ranked choices. The graded paper is very important to them - if applying, I would definitely include that.

From our HS, the kids who go to WASP schools have higher average GPAs and test scores than the ones who go to Harvard, Yale or Princeton (and much higher than the ones who go to Columbia or Cornell). It is a self selecting group - the ones who want Harvard but don't get it end up at schools like UChicago or WashU.[/quote]

Obviously. That's why WASP schools have lower reported scores [/quote]

Not really, the vast majority of the student bodies overlap. And, if you actually believe that there is a significant difference in 10 points or so on either tail you are a ripe target for a bridge salesman.[/quote]
