[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't why you'd use tiny LACs for a list like this. Over half of their tiny freshman classes are athletes. How many DC kids per year go to freaking Pomona? 1 or 2, maybe? Northwestern and Georgetown would be better additions to that "elite" list to give a more accurate portrayal of college prospects.[/quote] IIRC, they included Pomona to have a west coast elite private school represented on the list. Stanford wasn't providing data, so Pomona it was. There aren't any others besides those 2. USC is not considered elite among the boarding school group, and CMC/Caltech/Mudd are too specialized. The collective compilation of all the LACs is useful data. Individually, they may not say much, but as a group they are important destinations for boarding school students. Some 25-50% of LAC student bodies hail from boarding schools, which is far more than the percent of students who go to one. [/quote]
