Not bad, but not as good as I would have thought. I like that their web site lists the numbers for how many girls got acceptances and how many will attend each school. [ Reply | More

Can I ask what is the criteria that makes those colleges the "top"? Not being snarky, I'm really curious. Is it about % of applicants who get accepted? Also, where are you getting the numbers for HM? [ Reply | More

I was thinking the same thing. I remember last year their overall stats were very similar to Brearley's, and now they're very different. But B hasn't posted its numbers for 2008 yet, so we'll see. [ Reply | More

You're right, that was too strongly worded. But the numbers for HYP and U of Chicago look pretty different now, and last year I remember they were almost identical. [ Reply | More

Everyone had a tough year this year - when Harvard changed it's early action policies, the trickle-down effect was a nightmare - the schools didn't know what their yeilds would be, so the underadmitted, then had to take off their wait-lists - Williams and Amherst were going deep onto their waitlists after years of taking hand-fulls off those lists. A lot of kids committed to schools, then got into other places off of waitlists - some forfeited their deposits, others couldn't. My brother is the college placement advisor at a prep school (not NYC) and was tearing his hair out over all this. [ Reply | More

I find this to be the most depressing post of the night. Who cares??? There are so many great colleges...it doesn't matter where people go as long as they are happy. My dad was the CEO of a Fortune 500 company...he was kicked out of the first college he went to and graduated from a CUNY scool. This type of expectation/pressure is so scary and insane.

I would NEVER sned my kids to Chapin or any of the "TT" schools. It's not the life I want to expose my kids to. They go to a progressive school that values learning and is much more about the process than the destination. I seriously could care less if my kids want to go to an ivy. I would actually prefer if they didn't (though it will be their choice) because I think that type of environment is way too much pressure. [ Reply | More

np. That's nice, but if you think Chapin and all the TT schools care about is the "destination" or that they don't value learning, you're sadly misinformed. You can't form a fair opinion of any school based on the garbage you read on UB. [ Reply | More
