As NJres pointed out, only 3 went to Stanford (vs H:17, Y: 10, P:7, M:7). I am interested in possible reasons for it. I suppose a lot of students were admitted to both Stanford and other top schools. Is it due to geographic reason? Do students and parents in NE private schools regard Stanford not as desirable as other top schools for non-geographic reasons?

There are several things going on:
Many of the kids attending this school are HYP legacies. So they matriculate according to family preference (whether explicit or just because they've been attending college reunions from an early age).</p>
<p>Stanford is very well regarded in the Eastern prep world, just viewed as more of an "exotic".</p>
