<p>hmmmm, this list is very tilted toward the east coast. for example, if stanford had been included in the data, Paly and Gunn (both in Palo Alto) would have outranked several of the east coast schools - Gunn, for example, sent 20 students to Stanford last year.</p>
<p>As someone noted, location matters. East coast school admissions seem to be biased toward the east coast (last year, I was told that Yale’s admit rate in the San Francisco bay area was 5%, compared to the nationwide 9-10%), and from my experience with stanford, it seems like west coast admissions might have the same sort of thing going on. ergo, by including mostly east coast schools in the data (and not making it EXPLICIT at the top of the list that stanford’s data was not included), this list gives a picture that is very misleading. </p>
<p>There are plenty of absolutely amazing west coast schools… but if they send kids more to Stanford and UC Berkeley etc. than the east coast ivies, these west coast schools are getting shortchanged by this list.</p>
