<p>@2018RiceParent : the Ivies are pretty different. Being private, in the same part of the country, and playing in the same athletic conference is about all they share.</p>
<p>@poetgrl: Yes, I’m “seriously referencing Caltech”. What’s wrong with “seriously referencing Caltech”? </p>
<p>And no, not “all NESCAC schools are like that”. It does seem as if you both like to overgeneralize and are bad at math (because, again, if you did do the math, at many schools, even if you adjust for athletes and legacies, ED has a higher admit rate than RD), but for instance, Wesleyan’s student body is 21% athletes. To me, 21% is pretty different from 37%.</p>
