<p>I put hawkette’s numbers into Excel(only went to 35 and 15 though) and I found these schools to stand out, I used acceptance rate rather than USNWR rank to find outliers:</p>
<p>CalTech (duh!)
Harvey Mudd (duh x2)
Darmouth - somewhat
WashU
Pomona - surprising
Duke
Rice
UChicago - self selection?
Tufts
Northwestern
Carleton
Carnegie Mellon
Wellesley - Single sex limits pool boosting acc. rate I would guess
Emory
Vandy
Brandeis
Grinnell
URoch
Wake Forest
UMich
GaTech</p>
<p>That is a pretty big list, some schools had bigger boosts than others. Tech schools, unsurprisingly, showed up high. High scoring kids and a reduced applicant pool due to limited majors.</p>
<p>Surprises to me - Pomona, Duke, Carleton, and Grinnell. All are pretty big spikes.</p>
<p>Schools that were noticably below include - Stanford, Brown, Columbia, Williams, Claremont Mckenna, Middlebury, UCLA, and Berkeley.</p>
