<p>We need THIS YEAR’s stats. The data for previous years has been posted on the schools’ websites for a long time. Is there at least a news article on Exanian about this year’s college placement?</p>
<p>The matriculation list was published in the graduation issue of the Exonian. It looks very good, but don’t ask me to transcribe it (300+ graduates!). I’m sure it’ll be up on the website soon.</p>
<p>Another idea: would someone who is good at numbers be willing to calculate IVY+SM percentage for the schools that have full lists posted? Schools that have full lists: Andover (5 years), SPS (4 years) and Exeter (3 years).</p>
<p>toadstool…are those numbers from Naviance Data? I know there were quite a few BC admits and some Brown as well. What about NESCAC’s? I know of several. Also, Georgetown.</p>
<p>Note: my calculation of such data does not imply I support the comparison of schools by such a measure:</p>
<p>Percentages of students matriculating at the Ivies + Stanford and MIT:</p>
<p>St. Paul’s School (2005-2008 total): 542 total matriculations, 169 Ivy+SM matriculations, 31.18%</p>
<p>The Hotchkiss School (2006-2009 total): 725 total matriculations, 127 Ivy+SM matriculations, 17.52%</p>
<p>Deerfield Academy (Class of 2009): 186 total matriculations (year-abroad student not counted), 43 Ivy+SM matriculations, 23.12%</p>
<p>Phillips Exeter Academy (2006-2008): 947 total matriculations (year-abroad students not counted), 225 Ivy+SM matriculations, 23.76%</p>
<p>Phillips Andover Academy (2009): 313 total matriculations, 113 Ivy+SM matriculations, 36.10%</p>
<p>I would appreciate it if someone would check my numbers, since the total matriculations for Andover seems low. Also note that this should not be used for comparisons as the percentages mean different things - it may have been a particularly strong year if only 1 year is given, or a particularly weak year. Also, the Andover vs. Exeter numbers seem off…I might have misadded.</p>
<p>This year’s and probably the next few years’ matriculation will throw off percentages from previours five years. The Ivy admission across the board at all private schools has been higher than the previous few years. My my, there goes complete need blind theory.</p>
<p>Uroogala = Interesting, now I need to see the same schools for 2009 to see which college admissions departments need a swift kick in the pants to get them up to par again:)</p>
<p>I haven’t checked your numbers but the Andover total matriculations sounds about right. There were 324 grads. After accounting for Americans taking a gap year and internationals that return to their home countries before pursuing college your figure would be reasonable. </p>
<p>The Andover percentage was up about 5% over the last couple of years. It would be interesting to know why. Perhaps it was simply an outstanding class. Alternatively, maybe increasing financial or cultural diversity made it more attractive to college adcoms. College Counseling may have worked the phones particularly hard. It’s also possible that it had nothing to do with any of those things and it’s a yield effect created by students taking the safest route (big name schools with large endowments) during a particularly nasty economic downturn. It could even just be a random statistical fluctuation that means nothing at all. </p>
<p>We certainly don’t know the cause(s), but I’ll bet the College Counseling staff has studied every piece of data at their disposal to get a handle on the combination of behaviors that yielded this somewhat surprising result.</p>
<p>The total number of Andover graduates seems to be off a bit. I remember the news article about the commencement says it’s 324. Also, maybe you can calculate for the past few years and get an average, so it’s comparable with other schools? Exeter’s number is surprisingly low, and Deerfield for the second year (as reported in another thread) is way off from the PrepReview’s 32%.</p>
<p>I just read Padre13’s post. sorry about the total number of Andover graduates comment. I still think that finding the 3 or 4 year average when possible would be a more appropriate approach.</p>
<p>im surprised more deerfield kids arent goin to pton… they sorta seem like princeton types haha</p>
<p>oh, and from exeter there was 15 princeton, 11 harvard this year</p>
<p>I did the requested four year average calculation for Andover.</p>
<p>2006 - 2009: 403 out of 1226 – 33%
2005 - 2008: 390 out of 1197 – 32.6%;</p>
<p>I know that the top 50% of the Andover class of 2009 was a little stronger than normal, though it doesn’t seem to have made too much of an impact on the statistics.</p>
<p>It could be that the Andover admissions dept is good at picking kids who have a strong “hook” or something really different about them. I remember when son interviewed at A and I asked for info on how they choose students her comments were all about what makes him “standout” from the crowd. I do think the dress code and reputation as a more relaxed school help them “win” strongly hooked students from E that are double admits. </p>
<p>These numbers are interesting because on CC Exeter has been maligned for pushing the Ivies too much and on their materials for college counselling they encourage students to look outside the ivies- small lesser known colleges with excellent programs. Maybe it’s a difference in the philosophies of the college counselling depts. </p>
<p>It’s very interesting interesting to look at stats isn’t it?</p>
<p>Thought it might be interesting to compare to the public HS in my town.
Columbia 1, Cornell 2. So 1/235 going to an IVY + SM. </p>
<p>Now that’s something to think about!</p>
<p>I think Uroogala’s Exeter calculation is inaccurate. What I got was 246/947=26%.</p>
