How to read this table

· Chinese ratio directly determines internal competition density
· GPA median 4.0+ means internal grade inflation; GPA is no longer a differentiator
· AP / student = 6+ means not taking APs is falling behind
· Ivy+ hit is the school's recent rate of admits to Ivy / Stanford / MIT / Caltech
· UC Top 10 is the school's UC top-ten admit share (CA data only; out-of-state shows —)

If your family is in region X, which two columns matter?

· Bay Area / SGV / NYC pressure-cooker schools: look at Chinese ratio + GPA median to gauge GPA inflation
· Orange County / DC / Boston: look at AP / student + Ivy+ hit to gauge admit yield
· Texas / Chicago / Seattle: look at crowding intensity itself + the regional average for relative positioning

Crowding intensity formula (transparent)

A 1-10 number, weighted from 4 real signals:

· Chinese ratio weight 0.40
· GPA median weight 0.25
· AP / student (density) weight 0.20
· Ivy+ hit rate weight 0.15

Note: current intensity values are manually graded as integers (1-10) based on the 4 signals plus admit destination cross-check. We don't display continuous decimals to avoid false precision. Next version will show "computed value + confidence interval".

Example: an applicant at Lynbrook (intensity 10) with 3.8 GPA + 5 APs is below the school median, but nationally is more competitive than 85% of US high schoolers. The pool parents are comparing against and the pool admissions offices compare against are different reference frames.
