<p>Personally I was amused by the WSJ selection of colleges. They could have used the Prepreview.com list which is for the 8 Ivy’s plus Stanford and MIT. Maybe they did not want to pay for it. If they had used THOSE 10 schools the 2008 ranking would have been as follows for the boarding schools (I have not paid for the foreign or the day schools). Oh and note that the comparison is just for last year’s admissions to those 10 colleges and that not all schools report SAT’s on the new format:</p>
