[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP. I was responding to the statement in the thread that ''

[quote]And despite your claim that "NYC top privates send at least 10% to Harvard every year" you can see what BS that is, because there's only 2 NY schools on the top feeders list ahead of TJ: one is Stuyvesant (public magnet), the only NY private ahead of TJ is Trinity HS.[/quote]

I agree that total numbers and percentages are two different things. I was responding to the argument that someone else's claim that NYC top privates send at least 10% to H every year is "BS" because only 2 --actually 3--NYC private schools send more students to H. The fact that only 3 NYC schools send more students to H doesn't prove that there aren't more that send 10%.

Yes, and again, you can share that data on percentages of students admitted if you have it.  But you don't.  You're just cherry picking pn percentage admitted for a single school, mixing up % admitted with the definition of feeder school, while also  saying it's "BS" that TJ has been a top feeder to Harvard for the last 15 years (which, as posted above, is clearly verifiable with data.)[/quote]
