Stanford doesn’t post its numbers publicly either, so whatever you’re complaining about it’s bilateral. And a lot of more-distant alums don’t report to the committee, so the numbers are usually a little higher (80/260 is a little surprising, though).

Duke sent 1 kid to the Caribbean in the four years that I was there (he was an international student to begin with), so I suspect that doesn’t distort anybody’s numbers too much.

And yes, if Dartmouth doesn’t do committee letters that’s harmful. Harvard does decentralized letters which is also harmful.
