Re: 129
Sure – it’s an incomplete picture without being able to quantify the qualitative parts of an application.
I’m just thinking it might show, or at least suggest, slight differences in philosophy… assuming that all schools we look at have enough superstat kids, with strong ECs, to fill their entire class.
I’m not sure where we draw the cutoff line for schools. Maybe we could start with:
Universities:
Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, UChicago, Columbia, Penn, Duke, Dartmouth, Caltech, Cornell, Nkrthwestern, Brown, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt, Rice, Washington U, Georgetown, Notre Dame, CMU, Tufts, maybe Emory.
LACs might have different things to consider, like a higher percentage of athletes, so it might be best to keep apples separate from oranges.
