[quote=Anonymous][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.  [b]Michigan seems to be a pretty popular safety school among the private high schoolers.  [/b]

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]

I am not sure if Michigan could be considered as a safety school for private high schoolers. Maybe for those in the top 10% but not for most of the students. [/quote]
