Does your school have a tradition of producing quality students?

<p>My school annualy has a few (that goes to the top tier schools like standford and other ivies. We have one person goin to Harvard this year; 2 to Stanford last year.
Ten went to Berkley last year, and quite alot went to UC San Diego back in 2001.
BTW, it's a public school that produced one major league baseball player.</p>

<p>How bout your school?</p>

<p>Hah. No. Highest SAT score made by valedictorian=1350. I bet over 50% of our school doesn't even know what the ivies are. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Harvard: 1
Yale: 2
UPenn: 3
Georgetown: 8
UC Berk: 14
UCLA: 11
etc.</p>

<p>Brown 5
UC Berkeley 50
UCLA 54
UC San Diego 67
Caltech 6
Columbia 2
Cornell 13
Dartmouth 7
Harvard 2
MIT 7
Northwestern 7
UPenn 14
Princeton 5
USC 35
Stanford 8
Yale 1</p>

<p>But that was last year...</p>

<p>haha most of our school isn't even aware we have a baseball team (i forgot until right now as well) </p>

<p>Most people stay in CA...</p>

<p>Berkeley: 40-50 (uh, we like berkeley a lot?)
UCLA: 30-40
Stanford: 3-5
Ivies: 5-10 (always includes the student body president lol)</p>

<p>deus.ex.machina, are you the girl from MV? Or am I confusing myself again?</p>

<p>we had one or more students get into each ivy league as well as the nescac schools...and its public. soooo theres a lot to live up to at this place :(</p>

<p>since when does admission or enrollment in an ivy or even a top university draw the line between a "quality student" and one without "quality"?
I find that assumption completely arbitrary and slightly ignorant.</p>

<p>(and i dont think im living up at the moment)</p>

<p>x__infatuation, you have a good memory ;)</p>

<p>it definately doesnt...but people at my school are obsessed with thinking that it does (i do not agree and have no desire to apply to any ivy leagues</p>

<p>I never knew that many people from MV went to Berkeley...I thought they all went to Irvine or De Anza or some other really Asian place o_O...</p>

<p>no.</p>

<p>We usually have around 10-20 go to U of M. That's it.</p>

<p>Last year we had one girl go to Wellesley, and this year one was just accepted to MIT--aberrations, if you will.</p>

<p>haha not that many people go to irvine, i think they've had enough of 60% asianess (whereas berkeley is 40% asian? =_=). a lot of people do go to de anza though, even if it's stereotyped as the ultimate sign of failure lol</p>

<p>"it definately doesnt...but people at my school are obsessed with thinking that it does (i do not agree and have no desire to apply to any ivy leagues"</p>

<p>people mostly go to ivies because of the name...because of the opportunities that name allegedly provides..I admit myself I'm "obsessed" with the Ivies, but I would never in my life believe that were I not to be accepted to any of them, or at any other "top" schools, that I'm somehow not a "quality" student.</p>

<p>last year
Harvard -2
Williams -1
Columbia -1
CMU-2
Georgetown-1
UVA-like 20 (we are in virginia)
Cornell-2
Upenn-2
Naval Academy -2 or 1
Northwestern -1
Dartmouth -1
this was last year.</p>

<p>definitely not. In a graduating class of approx. 250-300, 15% don't go on to college/join the army, 50% go to community college, 25% go on to state universities (UW, WSU, CWU, EWU). The remainder of graduates go on to the better schools (Whitman, Gonzaga), and 1-3 go on to 'elite schools'. I think we sent 1 guy to MIT and 1 guy to Yale last year, and that's about it.</p>

<p>almost everyone in the top 25% of my school goes to a top 25 ranked school and mostly everyone in the top 5% go to ivies or another school ranked in the top 10</p>

<p>chiiguin, funny initials EWU. What university is this?</p>

<p>We have only a couple people go out of state each year. We produce a ton of MLB players though.</p>
