[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cornell, Penn, Berkeley, and UCLA are low considering how big those schools are.  And no Oxbridge?  But overall, the list is impressive.  Most of the schools on that list are great.[/quote]

Consider the fact that in the year posted in this thread, 45 kids went to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and MIT alone. 13% of the class just to those schools.

Also consider that this is matriculation, not acceptances. [b]I would bet that Cornell, Penn, Berkeley, and UCLA are backups for kids who got into Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and MIT[/b].

They very well could have gotten into the schools you listed and chose not to go.

People pick Harvard/Yale over Cornell/Penn/etc for sure.  But I don't see how that can be the explanation for why the Cornell/Penn numbers are relatively low.  You would have to assume that most of the people accepted to Cornell/Penn/etc are also accepted to Harvard/Yale/etc.  That seems unlikely.
