[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What schools are accepting a high percentage of the population that used to feed the Ivy League back in the 90s? UMC, private prep-school or top suburban public, high SAT/ACT scores[/quote]

State flagship honors programs and non-U.S. universities. [/quote]

St. Andrews in Scotland & McGill in Canada.

I agree that large state flagship university honors colleges are attracting some.

People are more knowledgeable about college options so talented students end up at a much wider variety of schools than they did several decades ago.[/quote]

McGill is not at Ivy League tier.
Their SAT score distribution is a solid 100 points below Ivy League.

McGill is a great school that has a lot of great students who want to go to school in Canada, especially outside Engineering (Waterloo).[/quote]

The Canadian schools have always pulled a number of strong students who got good grades but didn't have a lot in the way of extracurriculars because their admissions process looks at grades and coursework much more but emphasizes ECs a lot less. Counselors at my school advised kids with that profile to apply to Canadian schools. [/quote]
