<p>Accpetances at my D's School in descending order.
You can see few top schools accepted more than 5% of the class.
Harvard Wins over Stanford in Matriculation
MIT wins over CIT
HSMC wins over PY
U. Chicago was a surprise, it seems there was a lot of interest.</p>

<p>UC SD: 42.8% (5.6%)
UC LA: 37.4% (11.3%)
UC I: 36.1% (3.33%)

<p>That's fairly standard for a private school. Thanks for the statistics! Could you let us know how big the class was?</p>
<p>pure #s would be helpful</p>
<p>you could say 50% and that could be 1/2, so class size, etc, is very important in this case</p>
<p>for instance, the Uof Chicago </p>
<p>5% accepted, and 50% are going, that 50% is how many people?</p>
<p>just stating stats like this isn't helpful or meaningful unless we see total # of students,</p>
<p>and if you look at the acceptance rates, they are actually low, or is that acceptance rate a percentage of the CLASS</p>
<p>please clarify</p>
<p>% of acceptance is % of class size which is around 180.
In case of U. Chicago it will be around 10/8 Accepted and 5/4 going.</p>
<p>I posted this in one of the other topics. It's easier to see when you have #s, not percentages.</p>
<p>We sent 30+ to Ivies last year, so a little decline.</p>

<p>I put % as it is better indicator of class stregth than numbers. Yes, the class size was missing so I updated that.</p>
<p>Also % of Acceptance provide where an average student of the school get in and not just the Valedictorians etc.</p>
<p>30/400 is less than 10% and might not be good indicator of the average student but 30% acceptance at USC indicates a very strong senior class.</p>
<p>Certainly stronger than most schools but not the numbers of a top private HS.</p>
<p>The average student at my school goes to Penn State, Pitt or NYU which is pretty damn good for a public school.</p>
<p>loslobos71: It is difficult to figure from the stats you posted that an average student will go to NYU.</p>
<p>The school you can say an average student will be able to matriculate depends on the % of class getting accepted at that school.</p>
<p>Like for D's school an average student will matriculate to college like
USC/UC (B,LA,SD) as more than 30 % of class get accepted there. CMU/BU provide a good shot as the acceptances are > 15% and not all would apply to these.</p>
<p>Even though Acceptances at U Penn > 10% it is difficult to say that an average student will have a chance at U. Penn.</p>
<p>That's half my grade. I dont have everyone's decisions. I dont have where everyone got into, just where theyre attending.</p>
<p>Distribution of Matriculation to the US News Ranked Colleges (+) means an increase from last year (-) means a decrease.</p>

<p>Collegekid100, almost half the class matriculated to top 25 Colleges. Do you know of schools sending 50% of the class to top 25 schools?</p>
<p>The average person from my school attends a tiny state school, so wow. (Nothing against state schools)</p>
<p>I wouldn't put so much stock into rankings, though.</p>
<p>Yes, the top boarding schools and top private days send 35% to ivies and most of the class attends a top 25. I think TJ, Stuy, Bx Sci are close but have more financial impact on matriculation. Your numbers I would guess are those of a great public school in an educated, affluent area.</p>
<p>Collegekid100: I think you are lost.
1. My D attend a private school.
2. I've not come across any public school any where near such numbers.
3. I'll dump the top NE boarding school's number once these are out.</p>
<p>parent of ivy hope: your post is confusing. r u trying to say that 30% of the class got into usc or that 30% out of those who applied got into usc.</p>
<p>"The school you can say an average student will be able to matriculate depends on the % of class getting accepted at that school."</p>
<p>if it's the percentage of students excepted to a school, that dosent really help bc we can't tell how many were excepted out of those who applied. if 10% of the class got into a school but only 10 % of the class applied that would be like 100% acceptance rate.</p>
<p>Last year Andover sent 132/327 = 40% to the TOP 25 Universities and they had an excellent 2006 admissions compare to previous 4 years.</p>
<p>Please check the result on their web.</p>
<p>"parent of ivy hope: your post is confusing. r u trying to say that 30% of the class got into usc or that 30% out of those who applied got into usc.
"</p>
<p>It is 30% of the outgoing Senior Class got accepted to USC. I'm not sure how many applied. It might mean 100% of the applied students got in.</p>
<p>parnetof ivyhope you obviously dont' live in nyc area. stuy, bronx scie, are public schools that have entrance exames and thus attract top students.</p>
