[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ's % in top 15 colleges would be significantly higher (maybe 16 - 22%) if Columbia, Stanford, Caltech, Berkeley, Michigan, Northwestern, CMU were added.[/quote]
Wouldn't every school's % in the top 15 be higher too?  You don't get to change the rules for just TJ, you know ....[/quote]

True, but I think TJ sends relatively large number of students to these schools each year especially Michigan (around 28), CMU (around 24), Stanford (around 10), Berkeley (around 10) definitely more than LACs.[/quote]

Maybe, but I suspect most of those schools send relatively large numbers of students to all of those colleges.  Michigan seems to be a pretty popular safety school among the private high schoolers.

I'm sure if we had perfect information about all the colleges attended by every high schooler, then each school could game the list to maximize its percentage by cherry-picking which colleges to include.  But that seems like a pointless exercise, IMHO.[/quote]
