<p>The data contained in the Andover link posted above allows me to test the hypothesis I made a couple of posts above regarding the general increase in competition resulting in fewer elite college matriculations per HS.</p>
<p>All totaled, here are the number of matriculants per year for the Ivies, Stanford, MIT plus SWAP:
2005 = 105
2004 = 91
2003 = 104
2002 = 111
2001 = 101</p>
<p>ASSUMING each class is the same size, although I see a bit of a downward creep here in more recent times, it doesn't appear that significant to me. Perhaps this case example, being high on the elite HS list, is not representative of the general trends I mentioned above observed with other, less-elite HS's. Or, perhaps I'm wrong!</p>
<p>I'd ask for the sake of consistency to either (1) sort the matriculation list into a ranked top 20 list if posting yourself, (2) or send it via PM to me if you'd like me to do the dirty work. I'd be happy to do the latter, as I can efficiently get that school's data into my master spreadsheet for any future trend analyses, if I ever get around to any more.</p>
<p>Beside the consistency issue (presumably making it easier for readers to go from one school's data to another), truncating to a top 20 list keeps the volume down.</p>
<p>For "insiders": please feel free to PM me & I will post without attribution!</p>
<p>Appears I have some catch-up to do on my PMs, & I apologize for leaving any data unposted for a while.</p>
<p>biggyboy-- look on post 316 & thereafter....a few Jewish schools listed. Very little data available (at the time I did this)....a few are NY area. If you find anything in your hunt, please let us know.</p>
<p>please feel free to post class of '06 stats....I don't think I have the energy to do my fancy-dancy analyses or format for this year's crops, so let er rip.</p>

<p>What is that range for again? You provided a list that had 228 matriculations on is over 4 years of graduation. Tha is 57/year, not 113. Or was there a cut-off where you stipped listing the schools.</p>
<p>Moltian, you followed Papa Chicken's instructions . . . which is appropriate. I just need to pay attention! No need to clutter the thread with all of the schools from a particular high school.</p>
<p>Here is the list for Central High School of Philadelphia for the Class of 2004. I used to have six or seven years of data, but I can't find it now. This is pretty representative, though, with a few exceptions.</p>
<p>The school is an urban public academic magnet with graduating classes of about 550 kids. Average combined SAT scores were about 1100. Four-year colleges, only, listed; about 60 kids go to community colleges, and maybe 10-15 go into the military or employment.</p>

<li> Temple University* (94)</li>
<li> Pennsylvania State University (Main Campus)* (35)</li>
<li> University of Pennsylvania (27)</li>
<li> Drexel University (25)</li>
<li> West Chester University* (19)</li>
<li> University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (PCPS) (14)</li>
<li> University of Pittsburgh (Main Campus)* (12)</li>
<li> LaSalle University (12)</li>
<li> Pennsylvania State University (Abington)* (12)</li>
<li> Philadelphia University (PTC) (9)</li>
<li> Villanova University (8)</li>
<li> Kutztown University* (7)</li>

<p>As I said, this is pretty typical, except that more kids seem to have gone to LACs from this class than is usually the case, and the absence of anyone going to Cornell is an anomaly. The next year, Cornell would have made the top-20 list (6 or 7 kids).</p>
<p>When I see the sheer numbers of kids from these prep schools that got into each highly selective college, I wonder how there was ever any "room" for my kid from no name public HS to get in, LOL. I knew about this "phenomenom" but seeing the sheer numbers is eye popping. My D, who attends an Ivy, has a roomie who went to a well known private day school in Chicago that had 80 graduates and I recall when they got to college, she said that in her HS class, 8 people (out of 80) got in just ED to my D's Ivy. So, then we said (this was all while setting up the freshman dorm rooms, our two families), how our D was the only person in the entire HS to go to ANY Ivy or get into one, for that matter. Night and day.</p>
<p>Early on in Freshman year, my D would remark that amongst all her friends and people she was meeting that she was like the only one who went to pubic school (which of course is not the case on campus but what it seemed like amongst groups of peers). I recall once when attending her college sport event, I saw kids from other teams all sporting their colleges sweatshirts during the breaks and my D had on her HS team sweatshirt and I asked her why she did not have on her college one and she said, "I went to public HS and I'm proud of it!" (I think she felt like such an anomaly, even though logically she knows she is not the only one)</p>
<p>To keep it standardized and somewhat consistent with the dozens of prior posts, here's what I suggest (this is somewhat simplified from those posts where Ivy etc stats and %'s have been posted):</p>
<p>Title line: name of school, State (or country), years covered, e.g., '2002-2006'</p>
<p>Message:
- number of students per graduating class per year; note that your guesstimate signaled by a '~' preceeding the number is better than no number at all.</p>
<p>-ranking with #1 at the top, #20 at the bottom in this format:</p>
<p>Rank #, College or university, number of matriculants total for the year(s) covered</p>
<p>NOTES: (1) if 2 schools are ranked #1 for instance, the next rank # should be #3; (2)ties are fine, e.g., 3 schools being ranked #8, but contain the list to only one rank # as 20 total schools are listed (that is, one can list more than 20 schools, but the rank # should never be more than #20.)

<p>any other info of interest to you like SAT scores should follow at the bottom of the message.</p>
<p>how does the matriculation list go for yeshiva university high school? i'm trying to find basically the best jewish school in america (particularly in new york) that also has a rigorous traditional education program. help please..</p>
<p>JHS, Interesting to see Central here. Alot of the area schools on the list, but mine is missing. That'd be good to show because of late we've been an ivy+top 30 feeder. I think we sent ~30 to Ivies last year. </p>
<p>Biggyboy, I doubt youll find many private schools that are good if you are talking about Yeshivot. They tend to be pretty damn bad. My cousins go to one and they are so behind what we learn in public school.</p>
