<p>My school has only about 90-100 kids for each grade. This year we had around 9 seniors out of 91 go to Ivy leagues.... 3 to cornell, 2 to UPenn, 1 to Duke, 1 to Dartmouth, 1 to Stanford, and 1 to Brown.</p>
<p>Although thats only 10%, that seems like a high % for any HS senior class to go to an ivy.</p>
<p>for schools like mine, do colleges regard them more highly than others which dont send as high a proportion to ivys? </p>
<p>As in they would consider a B+ in my school's AP calc AB class as "better" than another school's AP calc class, especially since most students get 4s or 5s on the actual exam.</p>
<p>7 students*** But typically when they have a high school in which they accept more applicants, they view them as feeder schools because of the history of acceptances. You aren’t necessarily more inclined to get in because you go to one. It may actually make admissions harder because in schools that are notoriously competitive, it is harder to stand out among classmates. They don’t necessarily view them as “better” schools. They definitely wouldn’t consider your B+ as more impressive than a B+ in another school. A B+ is a B+ across the board. And statistically speaking, most students who take the AP Calc exam get 4 or 5 on the exam. So your schools wouldn’t really distinguish itself in that regard.</p>
