<p>Hope there is good news before the dog days of June. My son is coming back home tomorrow after completing a year. Seems like only yesterday.</p>
<p>My son in going to Baylor</p>
<p>well achat, to begin with he was not that far, Was he? how many trips did you make?</p>
<p>It was nice to see that breakdown, Bandit--thanks! Waiting to see what Mootmom's spreadsheet looks like! Clearly not everyone is as computer-challenged as I am!</p>
<p>Simba, I did make many trips this year. Good thing about staying nearby. I guess you won't be able to do the same......</p>
<p>Bandit: Thanks for separating these out..interesting list..but I can see there's one terrific school missing! </p>
<p>Jack's daughter: UNC-Chapel Hill</p>
<p>Congrats on Baylor, Congrats on Chapel Hill!</p>

<p>Thanks, Alumother. And thanks also, Simba, for updating the list. But when you update it again, could you correct the spelling of Chapel Hill? I know it's only shown once on this listing, but it isn't that unknown is it?? :) Thanks!</p>

<p>SBmom's D: one of CC's "top LACs"</p>
<p>thanks for the grouping by colleges..enjoyed it! Thought we overlooked our Baylor student. I know I will be annoying if I tell you that at the moment when I read the college list I have the tune of the "12 Days of Christmas" running through my head with the windup finale of "One of CC's Top LACs" subbing for Five Golden Rings....</p>
<p>Just curious since you have been accepted at UCLA...have you gotten your housing info yet?</p>
<p>mtlvrmom! </p>
<p>If you are asking if S has received a housing assignment yet, the answer is no. However, UCLA does not send a housing application packet. The application is on the admitted student website, and you can apply online. If you have not applied already, be sure to do so asap. The priority deadline was May 2.</p>
<p>I like the sorted list too as I have been watching for a while now, the sort made it all look new again. Mootmom, seems like your spreadsheet is as anticipated as who will be in the world series or the super bowl!! Thanks to everyone for sharing and once again, a big congratulations to the students and their amazing accomplishments.</p>
<p>I, too appreciate the sorted list and when I first saw it something just jumped out at me, My-O-My-this is one unrepresentative sample of college admissions. I just took a little time to see just how unrepresentative a sample. I took the number of Ivy's (a familiar grouping) and the SDMC of HYPSDMC (Stanford, Duke, MIT, and Cal Tech-another obvious and common grouping). Care to guess what % of students this group of 12 uber National Doctoral universities grabbed off the shelves of CC? Would you believe @ 23%? (BTW we are @ 60% national doctoral to @ 40% LAC.)</p>
<p>I just realized I was wrong. There is a higher percentage in that first grouping. I will refigure and post. (It is closer to @ 37%, Ivy's alone are @ 27%) Couple of more and then I am going to go enjoy a beautiful spring day-if you add national doctoral schools to get to the complete top twenty of that class of ship (battleship), you add another 10%. But if you add USNWR schools 13-20 to national LAC's (destroyer class) it adds less than 1% (one lonely Smithie from those eight schools). CC shut-outs were pitched to Bowdoin,CMC, W+L,Colgate,Grinnell, Mudd, Colby, and Hamilton. On the doctoral side Notre Dame was the only team shut-out. So 47% are from top 20 national doctoral uni's.</p>
<p>Actually, all the numbers here represent only those parents and those students who frequent the Parent Forum. </p>
<p>Mods, is there anyway you can post a survey that would get posters everywhere, perhaps asking us to linking our screen name and final choice (or decision to take a gap year) for the poster or the poster's kid? Seems that would be info the site could use in all kinds of ways too! While you are at it, ED/EA, RD or came off the WL would be nice to know too! But let's not get into the stats game.</p>
<p>I literally must have been asleep in post one. LAC's are more like 25% of the total depending on your definition of LAC . I think I'm going to go back to drinking. Sheesh. Sorry, folks . I'll do better.</p>
<p>
Actually, that is the unrepresentative sample I was talking about, wish it was april. I don't spend much time in the kids rooms. It's far too scary for me. LOL.</p>
<p>Parent's Forum Most Popular? Harvard, MIT, Dartmouth, and Princeton with 7 each. Penn and Tulane nipping at their heels with 6.</p>
<p>So , for those of us who might have wondered why so much time is spent on the elites, we might have an answer.</p>
<p>My spreadsheet is no longer necessary. :) Oh well, I needed something to be compulsive about for a few weeks.</p>
