<p>What you said is very true, neato.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>newebs, what is the smaller number in each line? Acceptances or spots? If it the number of accptances, then it would translate to 10% or lower admit rate for several schools. Really?</p>
<p>I definitely know what you mean neato! I’m the “international kid”…
Well, it’s like Mission Impossible but all I can do is taking it as a rehearsal for my college app. </p>

I guess she meant “spots”. The acceptance rate is about 15%-20%.</p>
<p>nothing is impossible - miracles happen on M10 (so do hearkbreaking surprises, of course)</p>
<p>But with SPS, 185 IS the number of acceptances, according to SPS parents posting elsewhere. If the list is accurate, shouldn’t the smaller number be acceptances for all schools?</p>
<p>Maybe some are numbers of available spots and some are acceptances?
I don’t know…</p>
<p>i’m wondering why exeter hasn’t posted their admission stats…so slow =.=</p>
<p>Last year, Deerfield Head of School Margarita Curtis announced the admissions statistics on the Revisit days. (This information is shared with parents over lunch and is mentioned briefly, so listen closely.) The statistics were later printed in the Scroll (the student newspaper, which is also online) in the April edition.</p>
<p>Found that little red piece of paper: This is what Exeter released for the 2009-2010 season. I’ll put the number enrolled after. It says that 17% were admitted, but doesn’t give the breakdown per grade and since I’m sure that yield varies with grade, one can’t just multiply by yield factor to determine number of admitted per grade.</p>
<p>Final Apps: 3205/545 (3205 x .17)</p>
<p>Prep: 1863/203
Lower: 630/62
Upper: 428/46
senior: 79/11
PG: 205/27</p>
<p>As it’s clear from these numbers, the competition is brutal. They admitted a total of 545 new students and enrolled 349 of them, giving an overall yield of 64%. If yield were consistant between grades, one could divide number of enrolled by .64 to find the total admitted per grade (ex: 203 enrolled preps / .64 = 322 admitted / 1863 prep apps = 17% admitted.)</p>
<p>Groton: 1000 (applications), Issued 82 Acceptance (for 9, 10, 11 gr)
Taft: 1500 (applications), Issued 160 Acceptances (for 9, 10, 11 gr)
Milton: 1000 (applications), Issued 150 Acceptance (for 9, 10, 11 gr)
St Paul: 1300 (applications), Issued 185 Acceptance (for 9, 10, 11 gr)
Hotchkiss:1600 (applications), Issued 310 Acceptance (for 9, 10, 11 gr) students on FA dropped to 27% for 2010.
Middlesex: 1025 (applications), Issued 100 Acceptance (for 9, 10, 11 gr)
Thacher: 175 (applications), Issued 59 Acceptance (for 9, 10, 11 gr)
St Andrews: 430 (applications), Issued 70 Acceptance (for 9, 10, 11 gr)
Exeter: about 2500 (applications) Issued 450 Acceptance (for 9, 10, 11 gr)</p>
<p>Called Exeter Admission this AM and she stated they are at 18% acceptance rate this year.
Exeter also informed they had only 10-12 students from waitlist accpeted last year, and expect less this year. Thing are pretty tight this year, and requested us to go with accepted schools rather then wait for waitlist to open up.</p>
<p>Also verified the letter indicted number of opening or places at variosu schools.</p>
<p>newebs - Your info above is misleading as you are mixing acceptances vs. spots. It’s frustrating that you keep posting wrong data.</p>
<p>Neatoburreto</p>
<p>Are you figure for 2010 or for last year. Did you get a letter in the mail posted on March 10 2010 with the figures you indicted. If that is true you figure may be correct. I received verbal information this AM from the Exeter Admission office, since we are wait listed.</p>
<p>creative 1. The letters indicte ‘opeings’ or ‘places’ from the schools we received. No such how you what to interprut it? Let me know what is the best way</p>
<p>If others received letters last wek, these numbers can be verified too.</p>
<p>Neato, I based my calculation on this info from last year’s Exonian article.
Overall admit rate (not sure if 2010 figures included PG)therefore is 522/2636=19.8%.</p>
<p>newebs - openings or places means spots NOT acceptances. You have posted them as acceptances so therefore you are misleading. Assuming historical yields of 50-70% at many of the schools you have listed, acceptances are much higher than what you have listed. Several of us have tried to make this clear.</p>
<p>newebs: The confusion is you mention “acceptances”, which is always more than the “openings” because no one has 100% yield. The information you share appears mixed between openings and acceptances depending on the school. You need an additional “field” for each school to separate acceptances and openings (just leave blank if you do not know one). This will provide clarity.</p>
<p>creative1: You beat me too it as I had to take a call. :)</p>
<p>As crazy as this might seem…the above conversation is very informative to a new person like me…thank you.</p>
<p>I am not going to say I totally got it…but I can follow you–lol</p>
<p>The figures that I posted are from the data sheet that I picked up when we visited Exeter last October. It is from last year’s admissions season, not this one. I assume that it is accurate and can’t explain the difference between these numbers and the one from the Exonian article. I don’t think it really makes much of a difference anyway. But as someone who loves data, I understand the obsession 
.</p>
<p>newebs - PLEASE stop equating number of spots with number admitted. They are two very different numbers. School will admit as many as 200% of the number of slots available, depending on their historical yield rates. NONE of these schools have 100% yield. The highest hover around 80%, so if Groton had 89 openings and a yield of 80% they would admit 111 students. If 75% of admitted students generally accept at a school and they have 240 openings, they will accept 320 and so on. Some (most?) schools admit twice as many as they need because they know that only half will attend.</p>
