<p>Papa: These figures for tuition fees have changed a lot in New York since the publication of these data. Those fees are now comfortably upwards of $30,000 per year, for high school.</p>
<p>gab-- I think you are referring to the Worth Magazine list on post 427, which as mentioned in post 426 is circa 2002, or 5 year old data. $22k looks like a pretty typical number from the 2002 list....compounding by 5% to 6% for 5 years from 2002 gets you to ~$30k....so elite prep school costs are going up almost double inflation.</p>

<p>How</a> to Get Into Harvard - WSJ.com</p>
<p>this article describes the schools, most mentioned elsewhere on this thread, that have a high success rate at getting their students into Harvard & other elites...the "feeder" thing.</p>
<p>
[quote]
The 10 schools that performed best in our survey are all private schools. Two top performers overall are located in South Korea. Daewon Foreign Language High School in Seoul sent 14% of its graduating class to the eight colleges we examined -- that's more than four times the acceptance rate of the prestigious Horace Greeley High School in Chappaqua, N.Y.</p>
<p>No ranking of high schools is perfect, and this one offers a cross-section, rather than an exhaustive appraisal, of college admissions. For our survey, we chose eight colleges with an average admissions selectivity of 18% and whose accepted applicants had reading and math SAT scores in the 1350-1450 range, according to the College Board: Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Williams, Pomona, Swarthmore, the University of Chicago and Johns Hopkins. Some colleges that would otherwise have met our criteria were excluded from our study because information on their students' high-school alma maters was unavailable. All the colleges in our survey received a record number of applications last year.</p>
<p>We tracked down the high-school alma maters of these colleges' current freshmen -- nearly 7,000 kids in all -- and made a list of the high schools that had graduating classes of at least 50 students. We then calculated what percentage of last year's graduating class at each high school had gone on to the colleges in our survey.

<p>Same problem as last time with a Wall Street Journal list--it's a convenience sample.</p>
<p>Interesting -- the list of index schools is very different this time. Much more LAC-oriented and, without Duke, and with only Pomona west of the Mississippi, even more Northeast-oriented than last time. Also, a smaller number of index schools, and smaller index schools, so a less reliable database. Last time, they looked at over 15,000 students. This time, about half of that.</p>
<p>IMSA and Lab School are HUGE Chicago feeders. I wouldn't be surprised if Chicago were replaced with, say, Dartmouth, that the school results would look quite different. I also attended one of the high schools on that list, and while our college placement is astounding, most students avoid the particular colleges sampled in this survey. </p>
<p>Perhaps list of percentages of students matriculating to top 20 schools/top 10 LAC's would be a better estimation of high schools' college feeder ranks?</p>

<p>I am very surprised to see so many students from the same school get accepted into HYPS.</p>
<p>Is there any information for schools in the Austin, TX area? Maybe St. Stephens. I have been reading this thread for quite some time and have seen the schools in Houston and Dallas listed, but nothing outside. Any information would be appreciated!</p>

<p>to others....please be my guest in publishing new schools not reported yet or updates.....I am a tad weary of this one, although I'm sure I could dust off my old spreadsheets if a good analysis was begging.</p>
<p>Due to length, I've just skimmed this thread. Interesting data, but I have to wonder how actual acceptance percentages would differ from matriculation percentages. I know at my sons' public magnet school, the fact that we have two stellar public universities within an hour's drive is a very potent factor in significantly reducing matriculation to HYP etc when compared to acceptances. Generally, about 15% of their class actually matriculates to the ivies, SWAT and Stanford or MIT. Lots of parents take pride in telling their offspring that they are welcome to apply to private schools to see the outcome, but that they will only pay for an in-state university. We made a different choice, but I don't blame them one bit.</p>
<p>Additionally, it seems to me that private school students may have a slight admissions advantage if they do not need to check that financial aid box on their application. I know that many schools are "need blind", but when push comes to shove, lots of kids have to pay full freight to assure the financial stability of these schools. I would estimate that perhaps 3% of my boys' school's graduating classes did not need to check that box.</p>
<p>I'm trying to figure out where there are two stellar public universities within an hour's drive. I'm also trying to figure out how HYP can have 70%+ of the students they admit matriculate at each school, when they are not only losing candidates to each other but also apparently are being turned down en masse by students at the Magnet School Between Two Stellar Public Universities.</p>
<p>Last year, molliebatmit posted information from an informal survey at MIT about where the students who declined admission in 2006 went. The only public universities to which MIT lost as many as ten students were Michigan and Georgia Tech (which are more than an hour's drive apart). Only about 70 students nationwide turned down MIT for a public university. Berkeley got three MIT admittees. Three. (Over 10% of MIT's students are from California.) Of the roughly 700 kids who turned MIT down, about 500 went to an Ivy, Stanford, or Cal Tech.</p>
<p>Does anyone think the numbers at HYP, each of which has fewer students decline admission than MIT, are really different?</p>
<p>When people say things like this, I think either Harvard et al. are lying about how many people they admit, or kids around the country are lying about where they've been admitted. I think the latter is probably more likely.</p>
