My son has Ivyish stats ( scores and grades)— but knows that colleges in the range that he falls into are a reach for everyone – also all the top students at his HS blanket app the Ivies + so the admittance stats, according to naviance are actually worse the common data sets – ( example school with 10 percent admit rate will be a 5 percent rate from his HS. Most kids apply to common app limit of 20 schools) . I think our zip code ( high net worth) plus his stats end up generating lots of mail – not just from the Ivies. Here are the top three overall repeat offenders:
- Reed
- Butler
- U of Chicago
The Ivies that have sent the most stuff are -
- Cornell
- Columbia
- Harvard
Other top colleges that he gets a bunch of stuff from:
- Vanderbilt
- Rice
- Vasser
