Choate College Matriculation?

Prep School Admissions
1

<p>Does Choate no longer provide college enrollment data? Their website was redesigned and I can no longer find it on their website. Has their matriculation statistics slipped and has that lead them to stop publishing that information? Does anyone know where I can find it?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I don’t know about the website, but I published Choate’s mat stats for 2013 in the [thread=1522198]BS Class of 2013 Matriculation Stats[/thread]. Certainly, no slippage. ;)</p>

<p>Perhaps that part of the website is still inchoate. ;-)</p>

<p>Sorry, I couldn’t resist.</p>

<p>I was looking for more specific numbers like which schools graduates attended and the number attended. I believe Choate is now the only top boarding school not providing college matriculation information on its website.</p>

<p>Thanks, Benley. Three years in and I’ve never even tried to find that information.</p>

<p>(My stats above were from the commencement issue of “The News” for this year.)</p>

<p>For the acronym lovers, that is:</p>

<p>Yale 40
Harvard 17
Princeton 16
MIT 12
Stanford 11</p>

<p>over the 5 year period 2009-2013. </p>

<p>Highly impressive, and not just the HYPMS stats I highlighted.</p>

<p>8 kids to Yale a year…somehow I was under the impression that Choate was a much bigger Yale feeder than its matriculation stats suggest. But impressive, nonetheless.</p>

9

<p>You don’t think 8 kids to Yale, from one school alone, is a huge feeder?</p>

10

<p>But it’s less than 5% of the graduating class…Lville for example sends ~15 kids to Princeton a year just for comparison.</p>

11

<p>Maybe Choate has “unimpressive” Yale matric’, because Andover is the historical feeder school for Yale, not Choate.</p>

12

<p>If we can get our noses out of the ivy matrix for a moment we might notice a, perhaps, more significant trend.</p>

<p>The top seven colleges to which Choate grads matriculate have very urban settings. They are (in no particular order); NYU, BU, GWU, Columbia, Georgetown, Yale and BC. BC being the exception as it is more suburban, but still just a trolley ride to the city.</p>

<p>Does this say anything about the type of student Choate attracts?</p>

<p>And don’t forget “Choate North” (Wesleyan). ;)</p>

<p>Here are the colleges most popular with Choate students (2009-13), with the top ones as leanid noted:</p>

<p>New York University 52
Georgetown University 48
Yale University 40
Columbia University 37
Boston University 32
The George Washington University 32
Boston College 29
Wesleyan University 25
Brown University 23

<p>Oh, and for those who care about the Yale data, ten Choaties chose Yale in the class or 2012 and another ten in the class of 2013. No way to know if it was their first choice.</p>

<p>The matriculation information on the redesigned website is located on the College Counseling page under Academics:</p>

<p>erc5757 that link doesn’t provide any specific enrollment numbers it’s just a big list of schools. thanks though to Benley for providing the data I was looking for. I guess they just hide it a bit now.</p>
