<p>Wait a minute ... I thought Princeton was supposed to be going after "academic 1's" now .... guess they had to make room for a speedskater instead!</p>

<p>Penn: 1</p>

<p>Brown: 1</p>

<p>Caltech: 1</p>

<p>Duke: 1</p>

<p>Northwestern: 1</p>

<p>Umich: 1</p>

<p>Princeton, still ZERO.</p>

5

<p>I wish I applied for that...</p>

6

<p>none for MIT either. must be a crummy school.</p>

7

<p>Heh, yes. MIT's quit going after "academic 1s" as well, I suppose.</p>

8

11

<p>Haha yea... there was just something about Harvard for us!</p>

12

<p>i'd love to know what the east asian yield at harvard is.</p>

13

<p>anyone wanna start a pool?</p>

14

<p>Interesting to break it down by field of interest, though. I can count 11 people on there whom I've heard of (most of whom I actually know, hehe) who are all, of course, scientists...6 to Harvard, 2 to Yale, 1 to Caltech, 1 to Stanford, 1 to Brown. From experience Harvard certainly seems to attract the top scientists. Am too tired now to dig through the humanities folks' preferences in there :p</p>

15

<p>I think there will be more to Harvard if we count the second and third team. (Unfortunately, they only post the 1st team). As I know two kids; one got in second and one in third... And they are going to Harvard.</p>

<p>110%, if you count ahead of time the number of Asians who end up trying to transfer to Harvard after being rejected, and actually get in.</p>

So? :confused: what's wrong with em? :rolleyes: dont u wanna get into top school? :eek:</p>

18

<p>Actually, of the people whom I know on those lists, the strong majority of the ones going to Harvard were on first team. But I know fewer people on 2nd and 3rd, to be fair...</p>

19

<p>Not 110%:
personally know 5 Asian kids who declined H, 2 went to Y, 3 to P,
in Classes 2008-2010 (including D in class 2010).</p>

<p>i think this proves to anyone who was showing doubt about my decision to go to ouachita that it's not some unknown school in arkansas destined to become unaccredited. suprisingly enough, it provides an excellent education within a christian framework.</p>
