What is the acceptance rate at the Lawrenceville School?

Answer 1

I can't give you a specific number, but I know it's gotten lower in recent years. I applied for the 99-2000 school year with average grades and got in no problem, but my cousin applied this year, and she's very smart, gifted, outgoing, great at sports etc. (everything prep schools look for) and was wait-listed. It's the product of a new headmaster who took over and wants to turn the school into a more traditional, conservative boarding-school type of environment. I don't like him, but I'd still recommend the school to anyone because of outstanding faculty.

Answer 2

According to Boarding School Profiles, it was 22%. I believe right now, it's much lower, like 10%, but nevertheless, it is still an extremely hard school to get into.
