[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lifted this from a thread in the independent school forum.  I'm pretty sure it reflects St Albans School college choices so far and it is anticipated there will be movement once the wait lists start moving. I'd add one more for which I have direct knowledge.  Princeton.

Agree, lots of deferrals. But the ship righted itself in the end with these deferrals flowering into acceptances. At my kid's school, the list is shaping up like most other years:

Bates
Bowdoin
Berkeley
Columbia
Harvard
Yale
Dartmouth
Cornell
Chicago
Indiana
SMU
Tulane
Wake Forest
Wash U
West Point
W&L
UNC
UVA
UT
Michigan
Wisconsin

The only real surprise, Duke![/quote]

Gee.  surprise surprise.  Things are going to work out out fine for the affluent kids.[/quote]

Does that list reflect enrollment or just acceptances.  In other words, if one kid got into Harvard, Yale and Princeton, does the list reflect all 3?  Or is this the list of where kids are actually going to attend.[/quote]
This is not even a real list.  It's a made up list[/quote]

It is not fiction.  Between my son's friend group and my mom group, I can verify almost every entry on this list.  Moreover, this list does not reflect schools with multiple enrollees.   Chicago for instance usually enrolls 10% of every STA graduating class.  I know for a fact that at least 4 grads will be heading to Dartmouth, 2 to Bowdoin, etc.

I'm not trying to defend the private school track.  I do think stating accurate facts is important to inform the debate.
