Colby College, 15 applied, 12 got in!! 80% when national acceptance is 8%
Darthmouth, 50 applied, 10 got in. 20% acceptance
Brown, 20 applied, 6 got in
Do some schools have high schools they just like more than others? This is a large public school.
This year last year when?
Our school had
22 U Mich
21 Boston college
Acceptances
It’s not that big of a school. I’m thinking it might be the same one

This seems very off to me, like not believable.

How does Dartmouth get 50 apps and Brown 20? Is this a boarding school in New Hampshire? Usually interest in Dartmouth is a little more niche compared to Brown.

Is it because they get so many applications because it’s free? 8 percent is still low!

No way your school has a 30% accept rate to Brown. If 50 applied to Dartmouth, I suspect the 20 applying to Brown is incorrect. Brown gets a lot more applicants than Dartmouth and this ratio seems way off. Unless, the high school is in Hanover.

Yes - some colleges just have schools that they like. Very common. But
18% of my kids’ private high school, not in DMV, got into Michigan EA this year, and that includes three Ross.
Those Brown and especially Dartmouth numbers are great!

Colby is practically open enrollment if you apply ED, TO, and full pay. The overall acceptance rate is low in large part due to the UChicago/Tulane/Northeastern style spamming they do to drum up applications in the RD round.
Oof! Seeing U of C on the same list as places like Tulane and Northeastern makes me so sad. It used to be a place associated with exceptional intellectual curiosity … but on DCUM it’s known as a spam factory. I hope that’s not really the case …
It's both.

Nah, the academics are about as strong as ever. Just the marketing is obnoxious to keep the lights on.
