[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another post has a link to the college acceptances over the last three years at Harvard-Westlake.  A whopping 59 of 62 applicants got into Kenyon, way more than any other better known LAC.  This confirms what I’ve said all along: it’s a rich kid school and it’s a second choice for everyone.[/quote]

Harvard-Westlake produces high-achieving students and has high average SAT and ACT scores that would make the average H-W student attractive to Kenyon. If Harvard-Westlake is funneling kids into Kenyon, it's probably because the school counselors are getting positive feedback from their Kenyon matriculants, and a school like that probably has pretty good school counselors.

Nope.  At Amherst it was 6 of 33.  At UVA 12 of 62.  At Notre Dame 2 of 19.  Even at Michigan it’s 87 of 210.  The list goes on.  The “average” H-W student isn’t getting into these schools.  Also, it isn’t just the “average” H-W student getting into Kenyon.  It’s virtually all of them!
