<p>Mmmm sorry: 327 total seniors.</p>

<p>10 graduates going to U of Colorado Boulder - what's the draw there do you think?</p>

<p>21 to Harvard...wow.</p>

<p>Actually only 5 kids are attending CU Boulder. I think the draw of CU is that it has a good science department, is a safety school, is in a nice location, and some kids want the big state school experience.</p>

<p>are there other discrepencies in the above list, sugerkim?</p>

<p>I just copied it as I saw it in the bulletin I got today so it's supposedly official. But true 10 to UC boulder seemed really weird--although it happens every couple years a random college gets double digit Andover kids, like Trinity last year, so I wasn't too shocked.</p>

<p>There are a couple other small discrepancies such as 7 going to Cornell, 10 to Duke, 22 to Harvard, and only 5 to NYU. The matriculation data is given out at different times and sometimes the lists change slightly. I have the same version that is posted on the Andover website. Under the college counseling section you can see the matriculation numbers from several different years including 2007.</p>

<p>SUNY Geneseo via Andover. Why?</p>

<p>1 to Oxford!:)</p>

<p>mj93 and others--just because you go to Andover/prep school does not mean a guaranteed entrance into a top 30 school...most schools have kids going to Ivies, etc., but also people going to less prestigious, but still good schools. If you're from NY state, the SUNY's are pretty good.</p>

<p>Percent to HYP using updated numbers: 12.0% (11.927)
(H+Y+P)/(Tot)=(22+12+5)/(327)</p>

<p>Percent to Ivies+Stanford+MIT: 31% (30.581)
(Harvard+Yale+Princeton+Columbia+UPenn+Brown+Dartmouth+Cornell+Stanford+MIT)/(327)=
(22+12+5+7+13+5+7+10+12+7)/(327)</p>

<p>crh--i hear where you're coming from, but it doesn't make sense to dish out 40,000 dollars a year for an education if you're not going to use it to your full advantage. An Andover education doesn't usually precede a SUNY education, which is why i was surprised.</p>

<p>Only ~50 more to Ivies than us :P
We sent more to Michigan, NYU and Penn though :)</p>

<p>7 to BU--Dont think I've met anyone fron Andover yet.</p>

<p>I'm lovin' one goin to Temple. That's awesome.</p>

<p>It makes sense to dish out $40,000 on an education if it is in fact an education, and not merely a stepping stone institution which entitles its patrons to seamlessly matriculate to a given feeder school.</p>

<p>School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London: 1</p>

<p>sweet</p>

<p>I wonder how many of these are legacies, athletes and URM's at the top schools ? It was a tough year for many schools.</p>

<p>A fair amount unfortunately. For example, with Princeton all except 1 or 2 were URMs. That caused a bit of a stir on campus--but they again Princeton hates us so I don't think anyone should take it that seriously.</p>

<p>Holy ****....in my school, only about 15 ppl everyyear out of the class of 450 get to something above community college/ SUNY (State University of New York)/some crappy school somewhere else</p>

<p>Yes, your school and most others (including my top public) dont touch Andover.</p>
