  3. 66 out of 85 students = 77% last year. 75 out of 92 applied = 81.5%. more concentrated interest, slightly fewer schools, selected for application
  4. 2013 top recipient schools: NEU30, NYU 25, BostonU 25, USC 19, UM 16, Tufts 14 (2012: NEU 20, UM 20, NYU 18, BU 14, Emory 11, USC &amp; Suffolk 10)
  5. Cost does not seem to be a priority selection criteria, most are still applying to more expensive private institutions
  6. Still drawn to small institutions which aligns with their high school experience and gives them greater access to professors to develop relationships and delve into subject matter at a more individual level
  7. Nearly identical choices of geographic fit, still drawn to cosmopolitan areas, not open to rural locations, want to access cultural events, internships etc.
  8. Majority US, followed by Brazil, then Canada &amp; UK (+ 8 more countries)
  9. Panama still to come in Latin America 2013, Asia highlight Seoul National (equivalent to Harvard), Canada fewer (despite Canadian counselor), better quality UK choices this year
  10. Selectivityaccording to criteria developed by Barron’s Profiles of American Colleges (2011) Barron’s uses four criteria to determine the selectivity of a school: the incoming students’ average class rank, SAT and ACT scores, acceptance rate, and GPA. while class rank and standardized test scores have remained stable, both the selectivity (measured by the percentage of denied applicants) and the average GPA have increased over the past twenty years. US News &amp; World Report uses factors such as seven broad categories: peer assessment; graduation and retention rates; faculty resources (class size, for example); student selectivity (for example, average admissions test scores of incoming students); financial resources of school (tuition, financial aid); alumni giving.
  11. 60% of all applicants were evaluated as outstanding or competitive (qualified) based on their academic records but space in the freshman class allows only 21% to be offered admission (less competive 30%, below average 10%)
  12. Given strong, rigorous preparation and supportive perspective to reach high, more apps to most competitive (27% admit this year vs 37% last year)Highly comp 54% admit this yearvs 50% last, very comp 86% admit this year vs 78% last, competitive
  13. Similar to most intl students, largest proportion heading towards business, then arts &amp; science or undeclared (which we see as a sign of success – more flexibility)
