<p>Have schools released their 2008 acceptance rates anywhere yet? At bs review the stats havent changed yet...</p>
<p>BS Review can be a great resource, but some information is very outdated. Some schools have information on this year's acceptance rates in a press release or statement on their own web site about the newly admitted class.</p>
<p>Andover was so selective this year that it turned down more than 100% of its applicants. Top that!</p>
<p>Once again Exeter comes out on top: Exeter rejected all its applicants and all of Andover's applicants too.</p>
<p>Well, SPS rejected all the Exeter applicants, all the Andover applicants, AND all of the people who didn't bother to apply, making their rejection rate 254.3987643%.</p>
<p>WOW. That SPS has some rarified air up there! I guess I can't consider SPS (or E or A) a safety anymore.</p>
<p>Sorry to end the joke, but SPS has a 19 percent acceptance rate this year</p>
<p>i think exeter was 16%
(very funny, though. :) )</p>
<p>Here is a thread that has some acceptance rate info <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/487244-2008-admissions-stats.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/487244-2008-admissions-stats.html</a>
The information on boardingschoolreview is often outdated. Sometimes when updates are made, only some numbers are updated and old numbers are left. Too bad, because it would be a great resource if it were reliable.</p>
<p>Not to nitpick, but Exeter was actually 18%.</p>
<p>"Of the 2,678 who have applied for admission, 18 percent have been accepted to become part of Exeters community."</p>

<p>In essence, many schools have acceptance rates of 25% or less, and there is a bit of luck as to why one person gets in rather than another.</p>
<p>Andover's was 19%.
