To make the list more meaningful you should consider asking for GPA, test scores, financial aid or FP , and whether any meaningful “hook” (I.e , athlete, legacy, music, underrepresented minority status , etc) is present. Just knowing who gets accepted or rejected without this information provides no useful value other than to frustrate those on the wrong end of the decision bucket. For those who want to understand more clearly the process, what drives these decisions and how to compete more successfully this additional information (never ever disclosed by the schools) would be illuminating.
There is a separate thread for that, @Center, called “2014 Clean Official Boarding Decisions and Applicant Stats/Extracurriculars” that someone can create by copying the starting comment from that one into a new thread. All of that information just clutters up the decision thread.
@Center, In the past there has been a separate Stats thread created after the Admissions thread gets going and people have had a chance to think about their results/admissions process. To insert all of those details into the Admittance Results thread makes it a lot harder for people to just scroll down and see the results that are coming in. People can editorialize all they want on the stats thread
Maybe use the formatted one (with colors) from last year for the more detailed info?
Okay. Sorry folks. I see. Though it would be nice to have a real spreadsheet with all of that.
OK, I started it with simple formatting and asked the mods to close and pin.
Great. Thanks!
Why is the threads only focusing on BS? Shouldn’t it be prep schools both DS and BS?
Feel free to post either BS or DS
definitely …
So can we change the title of
2016 Official Boarding School Stats/ECs
to
2016 Official Prep School Stats/ECs
I already asked the mods to do that as well as close the thread and pin it, but it hasn’t been done yet.
Where is @skieurope?
Thanks @ChoatieMom for you efforts !!
Mondays are one of my busiest days; I have class until 5. The other mods were waiting for me to deal with this because they couldn’t figure out the difference between @ChoatieMom 's request and @SevenDad 's. Anyway, I pinned it and changed the title.
We greatly appreciate you, ski. Really, we do.
ski is the best, but it seems he’s letting school interfere with his real work.
haha @ChoatieMom. Seriously though, if I was his mom I’d tell him to focus less on CC and more on campus life.
Agreed. But I’m selfish.
That would presuppose that my mom knows I’m here.
Note that the Official Results and Stats threads for 2016 seem to have been unlocked.
