[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely holton if you look at acceptance v class size rate.  [/quote]

I was curious about the boldness of this assertion and went back and looked at the list someone posted of this year's Holton matriculations (it's a few pages back on the main Independent Schools thread list).  I counted 7 kids at Ivies/Stanford out of a class of about 85, which is less than 10% and pretty consistent with the past results from the matriculationstats.org.  STA had at least 20% go Ivy/Stanford this year, and seems to always have 20% or more.  Holton also had three National Merit Semifinalists this year, less than half of what STA had, so that's another metric (and the only one that is publicly available).

I agree it is harder for girls to get into college than boys right now, and agree also that great kids can get in from anywhere.  But just because someone loves Holton (which sounds like a great school) it does not mean you throw all the numbers out the window.   :-) [/quote]
