Class of 2007 college acceptance statistics:

1.. Yale turned down ‘several’ applications with perfect three part 2400 SATs (PS I’ve never seen someone with a perfect 2400 score, nor have I heard of one in recent history at our school)
2. Princeton turned down ‘thousands’ of students with perfect 4.0s
3. Columbia received 18,081 applications for admission and accepted 1,618 of them making their acceptance rate 8.9%, the lowest in history for the school and certainly one of the lowest for an American college (Harvard accepted 9% of applicants, the ‘lowest in Harvard history’)
4. 80% of Valedictorians applying to Brown were rejected

Isn’t that scary? Gone are the days when valedictorians could get into the ivy league school of their choice.
