It's not about being "brave." These schools don't release yearly matriculation lists so there's nothing to share.

GDS is pretty transparent about this information.

+1000
The information for GDS per year matriculation comes out in their fall magazine. STA's is grouped for 4 to 5 years and one can only infer averages from the web site.

The only things more irritating than the stupid troll on this thread are the insufferable GDS parents thinking their school does something unique.

STA does the same in their alumni magazine. Hopefully no one posts it here.

If you call the below information transparent, the word certainly has a new meaning! Nobody can dispute that.

GDS College Matriculation, 2015–2018

The value of an elite college grows ever year. The Big H has allowed me access to jobs despite substance abuse problems.

It's surprising how other schools are not so transparent. It's as if they are a bit embarrassed to announce the results, lest people conclude that the schools are slipping.

Of course there are multiple possible paths to happiness, but some offer greater margins for error than others.

Anonymous wrote:Your kids will get in to the schools they're qualified for and want to apply to. Reading through this thread has been an absolute nightmare and I feel awful for the school employees and honestly for your kids too. The tighter you grip, the more they'll shoot through the gaps in your fingers when they taste that first bit of freedom at school. The craziest parents' kids tend to be the first ones flaming out. Be kind and positive and helpful and let them guide their own process helped by the competent professionals who do this as a career. Jesus.

Many “qualified” kids don’t get into schools that they want to attend. However, there are many paths to happiness and most of them don’t involve the Ivy League.

Since the rise of tech I actually think Harvard, MIT and Stanford have become the top 3 for the most ambitious kids. Harvard was fortunate because Zuckerberg started Facebook and pulled a lot of Harvard alums in with him. Yale may be the shakiest because they have the weakest CS/tech but they have recently poured resources in to fix it and of course they have such a dominant law school. Princeton mysteriously seems to maintain its status no matter how the winds blow so kudos to them for that.

The "HYPSM" jargon is almost completely attributable to the crazed college admissions industries in Asia (East and South) and the recent immigrants and their children who rely on that industry to inform their understanding of American colleges. And since they come from developing countries, they think computer science and engineering are the only avenues of higher learning.

News to me. The Big 3 parents all are recent immigrants from East and South Asia? I thought there are enough parents of other races there.
