[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah that list is interesting - with the exception of NYU there doesn't seem to be any huge advantage to HW. Really shocked that 26 applications to UNC netted 0 acceptances - what's going on there?? Or Stanford, wouldn't you think they'd have more than 7 acceptances out of 86 applications? Same with UVA, Princeton, MIT, Harvard - these numbers don't look out of line with what you'd expect from any HS.

I agree that list is not any better than well-regarded DC privates.  [/quote]

Except for the huge NYU cohort [/quote]

And other schools, such as UNC as mentioned upthread, DC private kids do better.  I would still argue, as a whole, those lists are pretty on par with the most well regarded DC privates.  [/quote]

But you don’t know the unhooked numbers for DC privates. So you are comparing a list of unhooked HW to a whole class for the DC privates. I do not know how you can’t say that at all.

It is a credit to HW that they get so many unhooked kids into NYU, though. That I agree with. [/quote]

I don’t think we really know the unhooked number from HW.  They took out athletes and legacy (and I am sort of suspect on the legacy… I can’t believe there is not more legacy at HW).  It is easy to back out athletes at DC schools.

They would argue their NYU is like 11 boys to Chicago from STA.  I am not saying HW is unimpressive just that there isn’t that big a difference compared to Sidwell/GDS and Cathedral schools.[/quote]

They took out athletes, legacy and a critical but unknown “etc.” We do not know what that etc. means. [/quote]
