Pingry - I am really surprised that they list the low SAT score. Seems like the students would be looking at each other trying to guess who got the 450. And the grade distribution (nobody fails!) seems to raise privacy concerns. Only 3 D+ s. Also of great interest is the list of colleges sorted by the total number of Pingry graduates enrolled from the classes of 2002 - 2005. The top destination by far is University of Pennsylvania. But there are many nonselective colleges represented, and in the middle of the pack with only 2 Pingry grads enrolled out of 4 graduating classes.... is Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. (and both attending students apparently are from the class of '05)
Agree that Pingry is very odd. The grade distribution for most classes looks like a curve at A-/B+ in most classes, B+/B in some. Serious grade inflation -- and no class ranking. I think they are doing the students a disservice and forcing the colleges to look primarily at the SAT scores.
feast on this....low hanging fruit from my Top 20 matriculation thread research...if I find more stashes of profiles (I think I trashed a bunch), I'll post.
I sorted by state/country. Only a few publics here...3 of them happen to be ones near elite colleges (I was checking that relationaship on the Top 20 matriculation thread a while back)
I don't have a point of view. Just wondering. As I see the extensive data on some of the profiles, I wonder if there is such a thing as too much information? Do Admissions Committees really look at the grading profile for individual courses, etc? Or is there no such thing as TMI, because an adrep can just peek at the highlights and go deeper only if interested?
