<p>hawkette,</p>
<p>Listing data for just a few schools outside of HLS/YLS is probably worse than just showing the list for HLS/YLS only. </p>
<p>When you include data for schools like Vanderbilt/USC law schools that aren't exactly top schools, you are giving an even more biased results for those two undergrad colleges because the applicant pool/matriculants for those two schools are probably a lot more regional.</p>
<p>I found the following data for Northwestern 2005 seniors (note: only 54 responded):
T-14 Law School / Number enrolled
University of Chicago 3
Columbia University 2
Harvard Law School 2
Northwestern University 2
Stanford University 2
University of Michigan 2
University of California Berkeley- Boalt Hall Law School 1
University of Pennsylvania 1
Yale University 1</p>
<p>Just realized that this is an old thread somebody renewed....</p>
@Iskinner I agree that it’s getting more difficult for low middle class to high middle class to attend a private college, including HYPSM. For most part, HYPSM (which do not offer merit-based scholarships) are for students from relatively poor or wealthy families. This is why there has been a tremendous growth in Honors Colleges at state colleges which normally have a difficulty in attracting high stats students. Right now, some Honors Colleges at state schools are spending a lot of money on marketing to recruit high stat OOS students. IMO they have not been able to make a big in-road in CA because CA has UC system which are not as expensive as private colleges but still costs around $35K.
Seriously, if I were a talented engineering student low middle class to high middle class family, I would go to one of these, get a free education, be supported as a big fish in a small pond, then go get a Masters at Stanford or MIT.
