[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most people here will agree that TT schools are great feeders for T20-T25 schools. It is specifically HYP admissions that are heavily influenced by other factors (hooks). [/quote]
Right, this point is kinda fascinating to me, just as a sort of abstract math/data analysis puzzle.  From everything I've seen, on pure academics e.g. HM is not weaker that Brearley in any meaningful way.  Amazing research opportunities, broad choices, some disciplines like computer science are barely taught at Brearley, while is there is a deep sequence at HM (and a few now-billionaire founders graduated in the last 10 years).  Strong rigor, no grade inflation.  Perhaps, Brearley has an edge in some humanities and civics/political engagement, but nothing decisive.  HM is much bigger, poorer (per student) and more diverse, but there is no clear reason why, say top 30 (out of 180) kids at HM should have different outcomes than the top 30 (out or 60) girls at Brearley.  And yet they seemingly don't.[/quote]
