I think you are acceptable to Lawrenceville. In other words, the stats you presented here are within the range for the school. I don’t know if they “will” accept you because typically there are more qualified applicants than the open spots. But good luck. You will find out soon.
Thank you @panpacific
Any other insight anyone
I agree with panpacific. are you full pay or do you need financial aid?
is there a big difference in acceptance rates for full pay vs. financial aid?
Yes
I have no experience with FA, but fwiw I recalled seeing a poster here who actually posited mathematical formulas for admission. I believe he multiplied the overall acceptance rate by .69 for FA and by 1.44 for Full pay. Iirc he claimed the source of the data for this relationship was Exeter.
That said, I’ve never seen a school divulge anything other than an overall acceptance rate. And, it would vary by school but I think Exeter is more generous than average, in part due to their enormous endowment.
Andover, Exeter, Groton and Choate are the most generous. St Pauls may be in there as well. Endowment size. …
I need FA
