@artandtechmom Thank you for putting this together! The way I see it, is to take much of the stats w a grain of salt, and try to see what story the data is telling, and I use it to satisfy my curiousity. I’ve looked at past years of boards to see if ‘student A’ gets accepted to ‘x school’, what other schools did that student get accepted to…and is there any trends I can find…convoluted process and I’ve not figured it all out yet, but if I get there, I’ll be happy to post my findings…
So…all that being said, I looked at the numbers you posted and found that of the 42 students, the average number of schools applied to was 13.15, and the average number accepted was 4.81.
No Coach average # schools applied to was 12.25 w avg acceptances of 4.56.
With Coach average # schools applied to was 14.53 w avg acceptances of 5.06.
And since the average doesn’t always tell the full story, I looked at the medians of the 42 students
Did the same thing w median…
Total students median # schools applied to was 13, and median acceptances of 5
No Coach median # schools applied to was 12, and median acceptances of 5
With Coach median # schools applied to was 14, and median acceptances of 4
Overall, with all the competitiveness of trying to get in, this last years group of students did really well, and many/most of them had options. Hopefully, this gives the up and comers something positive to look at too!
BAL to each and every one of our kids trying to get out there and do what they love to the best of their abilities!
