<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>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>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>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>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>
