<p>I saw this on another post and I thought it relevant. My school sends about 5 to UCLA, 5 to Cal, 5 to USC each year. 10 for top out of state last year (Rice and up). This accounts for the top 5% in my class. However, 2 years ago only had 3 out of state top schools. Last year there were 2 HYPS but none two years ago.</p>
