[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is interesting to me is this.  The unhooked top kids with GPA 4.3 and above, so the best of the best at the best school in LA:
Applied/accepted

Amherst 13/7
Brown 66/7
Columbia 61/9
Dartmouth 35/4
Duke 25/6
Emory 14/4
Georgetown 40/27
Harvard 70/7
Jhu 26/4
MIT 42/3
Middlebury 5/0
Northwestern 46/4
Princeton 53/4
Stanford 59/5
Tufts 29/7
Vanderbilt 16/1
Williams 16/4
Yale 67/12
Wash u st L 34/6

It sucks to be a top unhooked kid at these elite privates.

Interesting - I think these are much better stats than the average good suburban public schools. If a top student applies early decision to Amherst or Emory (and checking okay with going to Oxford), they’ll probably get in. Unhooked acceptance rates at these college are all probably lower than their official rates and Harvard-Westlake rates are almost all higher than the official acceptance rates. The huge, pretty well ranked public school in my town only sent two unhooked kids to Ivies last year.[/quote]

Yeah, but your public was free and Harvard-Westlake costs $300,000 for 4 years.[/quote]
