<p>it seems strange that almost half of graduating class would be accepted to ucla ( EVEN IF people dont attend) from highschool....is THIS TRUE????????????</p>

2

<p>Probably not that high but these schools send a lot to UCLA, Berkeley, and UCSD each year. ~40-60 each</p>

3

<p>I don't think that's just UCLA, it's all UCs, but yes. I know many many people from those high schools here.</p>

4

<p>o yeh this is for all uc's darnnn...
thanks!</p>

5

<p>ah, my high school only had 1 this year. we're a dying breed.</p>

6

<p>The year before mine, my high school sent like 60 kids to UCB. My year - 40 kids to UCLA</p>

7

<p>My school usually sends around 80 kids to UCLA and Cal. 479 in 2006 to the UC system according to your site. Decently sized school with around 6-700 a class.</p>

8

<p>Wow, I didn't know the figures were that high. That means over 2/3 of my high school graduating class gets into UC's.</p>

9

<p>Notice that they're mostly Silicon Valley schools... :rolleyes:</p>

10

<p>I'm surprised that Mission San Jose High isn't on that list...</p>

11

<p>jam3rz, that's for santa clara county only...mission had 339 uc-accepted students in '06</p>

<p><a href="https://uasother.ucop.edu/cgi-bin/awpe/county_detail.pl?countyid=001&year=2006&sort=sch%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://uasother.ucop.edu/cgi-bin/awpe/county_detail.pl?countyid=001&year=2006&sort=sch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>damn...SAT verbal or reasoning average of 725??? impressive</p>

12

<p>Definitely not that many are accepted at UCLA -- 1/3 of that number is more likely, which is still a large number.</p>

13

<p>mvsenior,</p>

<p>You listed some of the best schools in CA. It's not surprising in the least.</p>

14

<p>I don't think Lynbrook has THAT many. I've been told its more like 100ish, so maybe thats how many applications they received?</p>

15

<p>Yes. Lynbrook has that many. These schools are that good.</p>

16

<p>I think those numbers are for the overall UC system. And I'm not truly surprised. Considering many of those schools' rank in the entire U.S., it's quite plausible.</p>

17

<p>wow my school is #1</p>

<p>we're really good at sending ppl to UCs but most privates (stanford included) hate us</p>

18

<p>Yes. I think the article on the Wall Street Journal about MV didn't help either...</p>

19

<p>What did it say?</p>

20

<p>Google!</p>

<p>Well, that article was uber biased. I mean, emphasizing the stereotypes, the Asian competitiveness that created a white exodus from cupertino, it serves nothing more than to create even more stereotype about MV. </p>

<p>Some can say that's just reporting, but some can also say that Diana Chien's photograph was also reporting (the WSJ article also made me look up that). There's a line between factual and sensationalist.</p>
