[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chapin has a 34% ivy acceptance rate over for years which is also great…. That’s just scooting to ChatGPT so that is very unofficial. LOL[/quote]

Matriculation or acceptance? That percentage seems really high considering their performance in the last 2-3 years  [/quote]

NP.  Just looked it up.  For last 5 years, Chapin sent 78 to ivies, so less than Spence’s 91 and much less than Brearley’s 124, but a little more than Collegiate’s 71.  Seems to be about 25% of class if you assume similar class size to those others.[/quote]

Chapin and Collegiate class size is a bit smaller I am pretty sure about 50 to Spence’s 60-70 but depends on year so their rate is in the 30 percentile so pretty comparable to Spence’s. 78 kids over 5 years with a class size of 50 is 31 percent.  Chapin has been consistent with their Ivy acceptance rate.  They are pretty intent on keeping the community small.   It’s very very difficult to gain acceptance in recent years.   What performance was the poster referring to??  Love this forum for all the differing opinions!  I assume it’s parents from the various schools.  LOL. [/quote]

That's incorrect for Chapin, which has 810 students for 13 grades (https://www.chapin.edu/about/chapin-facts).  That's an average of over 62 per grade.  About even with Spence, which has 804 (https://www.spenceschool.org/about-spence/at-a-glance).  Brearley has 786 (https://www.brearley.org/brearley-at-a-glance/).  Collegiate is smaller though with 670 (https://www.collegiateschool.org/explore/who-we-are).[/quote]

Class size can vary, some middle school grades tend to have more kids but high school classes can definitely be as small as 50 at Chapin.   Think this year’s class has 57.[/quote]

Chapin's matriculation page for 2021-2025 reflects 299 students., or 60 students per year.[/quote]

Yeah no idea why that poster is fighting this.  The class size is about the same as the other TT girls schools, but the matriculation stats are worse.  They are still very strong; they're just the worst of the 3.  No shame at all in that.[/quote]

I think people tend to rely on schools' reputations and might not notice that one school (Spence) has done very well over recent years while another (Chapin) remained very impressive, solid and steady but has not really "closed the gap" to Brearley.

I have no connection to any of the all-girls schools but when I look at Spence college admissions (Ivys + Duke + Stanford + MIT), I am pretty impressed. Brearley does very well with Ivys but if you include other top tier schools (Duke + Standford + MIT), the gap between B and S is smaller. S sends more students to those 3 schools (that I would personally choose over some of the Ivys). [/quote]

Why would you choose Duke over an Ivy?  [/quote]
