<p>Well that's an interesting catch about the reporting of the % in top 10% of HS class for Amherst. Amherst's Report to Secondary Schools, on the Amhersts website, reports it as 80% of the freshman class in top 10%. (89% of those admitted were in top 10%; 80% for those who actually enroll as freshman.) No idea where US New came up with 87%. </p>
