What is the acceptance rate at Blair Academy?

The acceptance rate for classes entering 2008-2009 school year was 39%.

In 2008, at many private schools, the acceptance rates are actually much lower than the 45% from a previous post. Record number of applications over the past few years have resulted in a significantly reduced acceptance rate. 2008 is noted as a "peak" year with the number of applications expected to drift downward. I think many schools are both excited about the rising quality that numbers bring and concerned that the new numbers will scare off qualified candidates. Our son applied to several schools . The 2008 stats provided by those schools are as follows: Blair 700 applicants 120 openings (all grades), 550 applicants 90 openings 9th grade = 16% acceptance. Episcopal = 600 Applicants 100 openings = 16% Lawrenceville 1450 Applicants 150 9th grade openings = 11%. Comment to above: Please note that not every accepted applicant matriculates to the school. If the yield rate is 50% (that is, 50% of accepted students matriculate), then the acceptance rate at Blair would be 32%. If and when I learn what the acceptance rate was this year, I will post it.
