@ProudLoomisDad – I read/hear that comment a lot, however, I have yet to be presented with any real data.
Top prep schools have at least 1 to 3 ratio to get into the Ivy league. There is a minority that is not at the top of their class before they get it so they might make up a good portion of the 2 out of 3 that didn’t get in so what are your real odds. 1:2? 1:2.5. Those are great odds for colleges with less than 15% acceptance rate.

Thank you for this helpful post. My daughter is headed to Milton in the fall. Would you be free to chat with me on the phone? I don’t know any parents there and I have some questions.
Milton’s yield is 85% this year !! I believe this is one of the highest (if not highest) of all schools. # of applications increased 25% and they took less kids this year… last year % application increase was 30% and acceptance was 16%… I am searching for the actual # of accepted this year to get the acceptance rate…
