[quote=Anonymous][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 &quot;stats&quot; presented.[/quote]

Huh?  All the DMV-area schools PUBLISH their stats, with the exception of Sidwell. I don't see Sidwell on his list, so that fits the picture.

All he needs is an Excel spreadsheet, knowledge of how to construct indices, and lots of time. I could do this myself, including building the indices, except that I don't have the time.

Also... you bumped this 2-year-old thread to say this? Why?[/quote]

&quot;All the DMV-area schools PUBLISH their stats, with the exception of Sidwell&quot;  &lt;== This is flat out wrong. Some schools publish nothing, others publish 5 year stats or &quot;acceptance&quot; stats that would not allow for the analysis the matriculationstats author would need to ACCURATELY perform the analysis.  The author may have some date, but remember &quot;garbage in&quot; = &quot;garbage out&quot; [even when presented in Excel].  To my knowledge, Holton-Arms and Landon are the only two schools that publish an annual matriculation list that names students and schools for each student.

I'm not condemning schools that keep that information private, I'm just calling BS on anyone (especially someone in NYC) who claims to have access to information that is not available.
