sorry, edit:

here's the columbia breakdown: Columbia University Office of Undergraduate Admissions - Admission Statistics

Quote:
Of schools that provided us with a class rank, approximately 92% of accepted students were in the top 10% of their graduating class; 98% were in the top 20% of their class. 62% of admitted students attended high schools that do not rank.

so that's 75% in the top 10% vs 92% in top 10%.....yep, sounds like you know your "facts"

i'm sure you're going to take issue with the last sentence but let's be honest...the schools that dont rank kids tend to be the TOP END of institutions (both public and private). i'm 100% sure there are more of these grads at columbia than barnard (not to say i dont know a few exeter/etc grads at barnard, i just know there are more at columbia)
