Prep School Admissions
41

<p>From the current Lawrenceville Prospectus:</p>

<p>Applicants: 1929
Enrolled: 244</p>

<p>I think the Avg SSAT scores are in the mid 80s (that’s what I have in a spreadsheet that I prepared when my child first started considering BS), but I can’t be entirely certain where I obtained that info.</p>

<p>From the matriculation data, we won’t know the acceptance rate without knowing how many they made offers to and what the yield is.</p>

43

<p>Well, I don’t know how updated this is (2009 ed. but obviously the stats are older), but according to the Porter Sargent’s Private School Handbook here are L’ville’s stats:</p>

<p>Admission: Very selective admin

  • 245/yr Bdg. 179 Day 66
  • Accepted 22%
  • Yield 64%
  • Endowment: $270,000,000</p>

<p>No SSAT scores though:(</p>

44

<p>Using these admit numbers the yield is 57.5%. (1929 * 0.22 * 0.575 = 244). With that endowment if they give out more FA, they can attract a few more geniuses to improve their SSATs to the HADES level.</p>
