Acceptance Rate Inflation for Schools in the Same City?

<p>

More than that, I should think. Cornell had 69 freshmen and 329 undergraduates from Tompkins County last year. </p>

<p>Yale averages about 8-10 students a year from New Haven. </p>

<p>As of 10 years ago, Brown admitted ~20 students from Providence, and that number is likely similar today. (Although RI is less than 1/3 the size of CT, Brown and Yale have similar in-state percentages.) </p>

<p>Princeton High School sends about 15-17 students per year to Princeton. Senior class size is 350 students, but it averages 14 NMF. </p>

<p>Hanover High School sent 8 students to Dartmouth last year. Senior class size is ~160. Again, given that only 11 students made NMSF/NMF, that’s not bad at all.</p>

<p>I couldn’t find info for the other Ivies. At least for Dartmouth and Princeton, it seems like all NMFs plus others (after all, not everyone matriculates) are admitted, so yes, there’s probably some acceptance inflation going on.</p>
