From above:
" For example (just a basic one), if you look at their stats on US New, Caltech has the highest SAT scores, but compared to the other top schools, the percent in the top 10 percent in high school is much lower."

According to my 2007 (out-of-date) issue of USNWR, 94% of Caltech's class was in the top 10% of their hs class. The only ones higher are Harvard at 96%, and that other institute with 97%.
