[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yorktown and W-L are pretty much a draw.  W-L has seven attending Ivies, as a previous poster noted, while Yorktown has six (Yale, Columbia, two Cornell, Dartmouth and Penn).  Both have two attending Duke, and both have one attending MIT.  W-L also has two attending Chicago, while Yorktown has one attending Northwestern.

Pretty impressive.

Another poster singled out HB as the "winner."  I disagree.  It has one attending MIT and another attending Yale, but that's it.  Obviously it's a much smaller school, but adjusting for size it's not ahead.

Keep all of this in mind when you see next year's silly Arlington Magazine.  I don't recall it ever reporting more than a handful of grads from each school attending Ivy+ schools.  The data there is clearly inaccurate.[/quote]

Depends what your measure is and on that people will never agree. The other poster was considering top 30. You’re just looking at Ivies and a few other universities. Neither of you considered top LACs. [/quote]

Nah.  Not including the Ivy+, for example, I just went back and counted more than 40 other YHS grads attending top 30 colleges.  And that's not including William & Mary or Tech, and not including LACs like Haverford or Colgate or the two going to the Naval Academy.  Also not including Tulane, Northeastern or Emory.  There are lots of impressive schools.

Yes there are a couple of HB grads going to top LACs and good for them.  But an HB grad is more likely to choose an LAC than a neighborhood school grad.  It doesn't tell us much.
