[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I presume its the largest.  The question you should be asking is which school has the highest percentage in proportion to those that apply who are not legacies.

The best site for this but does exactly answer your question is below.  You will note that the ones with the highest % that get into HYPMS (Harvard, Yale Princeton, MIT, STanford) in the DC area are
national cathedral, st albans and then Maret in that order.

It appears that you've been duped.  The so-called matricualationstats.org is a website run by one person who claims to have compiled stats by himself.  The site doesn't detail HOW this person acquired the confidential data that few schools share. At least with respect to the DC area schools there is no way an individual can get all the information needed for the "stats" presented.[/quote]

He is quite open about his methodology and several years ago when I looked at some of the source material it was all scrupulously accurate.   If someone is patient and willing to extrapolate from the sometimes very significant amount of information that schools make public, they can aggregate quite a lot of useful data.  It reminds me of how during the Cold War foreign countries would do quite a lot of open source intelligence collection and at the United States, because there is so much material openly available.[/quote]
