<p>I would also take into account the matriculation rate is a lot less then the amount that they accept… Say, Choate accepted 120-140 new sophomores. but maybe only a percentage of those decides to go to Choate. They have to take that into account so that they get their full quota. So maybe only 40-50 of that original 120-140 will end up going to Choate. If they only accepted 40-50, then maybe only 10-20 would end up going.
And they want that damn quota!!! Haha</p>
<p>My mistake in using “admitted” – almost 150 students have actually enrolled for class of 2012. Here’s what the Choate newspaper reported back in April: </p>
<p>“Director of Admissions … reported that there were 950 applications for the class of 2012. On March 10th, the admissions office admitted 200 of the 950 applicants. So far, 148 of the 200 admitted students have been enrolled.”</p>
<p>But who know, maybe they plan to increase their class size…</p>
<p>ugh, i love choate because it’s kept some prestige despite being a large school (don’t flame me guys, i just think smaller schools have a better sense of elitism and prestige) but if they expand their class size significantly… bleh, i dunno.</p>
<p>Is it impossible to get in to a good prep school for junior year? Does anybody do that?</p>
