Does your school have a tradition of producing quality students?

<p>my school:
valedictorian: Case Western
Sal: web
3: upenn
everyone else: pitt, penn state</p>

<p>for this year (class of 2005) public school in nj:
this is just amongst my friends, i obviously don't know where everyone is going in my class (of 360)</p>

<p>3 Barnard 4 Brown 4 Carnegie Mellon
1 Caltech 3 Columbia 2 Cooper Union
8 Cornell 1 Dartmouth 1 Duke
2 Harvard 2 Haverford 5 Johns Hopkins
14 NYU (5 Stern, 1 Tisch) 3 Northwestern
2 Princeton 1 Rice 1 Stanford 1 Swarthmore
6 Tufts 1 US Naval Ac. 2 UChicago
12 UMichigan 2 UNCCH 1 UPenn
6 WashU 2 Wellesley 2 Wesleyan
1 Williams 1 Yale</p>

<p>Jason Alexander graduated from my school and for those in the ny area who know Bruce Beck (does sports on news channel 4) also graduated from my school.</p>

<p>a few yes, but i think that this happens in a lot of school</p>

<p>I go to a public school that really isn't recognized for its academics. Last year, there was only one person who went to an Ivy, and that was Cornell.</p>

<p>As for this year some people are going to:
1 Vandy
1 Claremont-McKenna
1 Cornell
1 Bard
1 NYU</p>

<p>Yea, my school isn't all that intellectual.</p>

<p>1- Penn 6 year medical program (this guy is an extreme exception)
1-5 UCLA
1-5 UCB
1-5 UCSD
15-20 UCI
20-25 UCSC, UCSB, UCD
(counting myself, got into all uc's)</p>

<p>Ive gotten two B's in high school, and im still ranked #4 at my school.</p>

<p>The rest go to Cal States and Community College (we have a 400 student class)</p>

<p>33% of 175 kids usually to an Ivy.</p>

<p>top 5 kids at our schools and where they are going:</p>

<p>val. caltech
sal. ucla
sal. ucb
4. ucla
5. upenn (me)</p>

<p>the answer is no, my school doesn't have a tradition of producing quality students. i think the socioeconomic background of the neighborhood has a lot to do with it. i live in a middle-class suburb (not upper-middle), so we tend not to have very many aspiring for the very top schools. as far as ivies go, we had one go to dartmouth last year. we have 3 going to northwestern, 2 to Notre Dame, none to UChicago. go to winnetka (where new trier hs is) and that's where you'll find ivy-bound students.</p>

<p>Private prep school in the ole, deep South (no, we are not all hillbilly retards down South). Avg. SAT is 1241, which isn't impressive compared to all the elite Northern preps, but is not bad either.</p>

<p>For my class of '05 (about 180 kids), here are the better universities/LACs: this is ENROLLING, more were accepted:</p>

<p>U of Penn- 1
Dartmouth- 1
MIT- 1
Duke- 1
Berk- 1
Vanderbilt- 5
Notre Dame- 2
USC- 2
Emory- 2
UNC-CH- 1 (out of state)
U Mich Ann Arbor- 1 (out of state, obviously)
NYU- 2
Georgetown- 1
U of Virginia- 2 (out of state)
Wake Forest- 2
Boston College-2
GA Tech- 6
Furman- 4
Good LACs:
1 Vassar
1 Mount Holyoke
1 Colgate</p>

<p>Several going to military academy</p>

<p>Also: other acceptances (but not enrolling): Northwestern (1), WUSTL (1), U of Chicago (1), Davidson (4). Also, acceptances to Cooper Union (very cool).</p>

<p>No acceptances to HYPS (boooo!!!). No applications to Brown or Columbia, or any UCs but Berk.</p>

<p>Pretty good, considering where we're from and all.</p>
