<p>we don't have rankings, but the smartest math/science person got into MIT, and the smartest english/history person got into Yale. we also had a harvard acceptance, a columbia acceptance, and five or six stanford acceptances. there was also a williams, but that was for athletics.</p>
<p>Every year we have one or two people get into really prestigious schools; some choose to go, some don't. This year it's MIT, last year Caltech, two years ago Stanford, three years I'm not sure, four years I think it was Harvard, before that there was another MIT and the list goes on. We usually have 1-2 people go to University of Chicago each year. I think my english teacher says the one school we haven't "cracked" yet is Swarthmore.</p>

<p>That's impressive...Do you go to a prepschool, or is it public?</p>
<p>prepschool. it's definitely one of, if not the best in the bay area. and for some reason stanford LOVES us. last year i think something like 15 (out of 60 seniors...probably about 30 applied to stanford) got in there.</p>
<p>i applied to yale and got deferred. i'm assuming you applied there too, considering your SN. EA or RD? if EA, did you get in?</p>
<h1>1 Stanford- Deferred</h1>
<h1>3 MIT- Deferred</h1>
<h1>7 Stanford- Accepted (me)</h1>
<h1>1 Yale - Accepted (me)</h1>
<h1>2 No EA/ED</h1>
<h1>3 Yale - Rejected</h1>
<h1>5 <-(i think) Harvard - deferred</h1>
<p>In my school, only about 30% of the people go to college, and about 50% of the ones that do go to college go to BYU-Idaho or BYU-Utah because like 90% of everyone in my city are mormons. </p>
<p>But from my school:</p>
<p>1 Person is applying to Amherst/Swarthmore
3 People are applying to UVA (i am one of them)
1 Person is applying to WUSTL
1 Person is applying to UNC-Chapel Hill (me)
1 Person is applying to Duke and Wake Forest
1 Person is applying to Brown (me)
1 Person is applying to Rice (me)</p>
<p>yay. someone from out of state applying to Rice. I applied interim. only one person from my school has gotten accepted to rice in the past ten years.</p>
<p>The smartest person in my school got a 1560 on her SAT, is one of the most brilliant students I've ever met, and is going to the University of Rochester. She doesn't want to go to a school where people only apply because of the name. Props to her.</p>
<p>From out school:
11 students got in ed penn (8 deferred)
2 ea to harvard (1 def)
1 yale (6 def)</p>
<p>Last Year:</p>
<h1>1 3/4 merit at Wake</h1>
<h1>2 Morehead Scholar at UNC</h1>
<h1>3 Duke</h1>
<h1>4 Duke full merit scholarship</h1>
<h1>5 Duke</h1>
<p>This year:</p>
<h1>1 Morehead Semifinalist</h1>
<h1>1 Stanford EA (yours truly)</h1>
<h1>3 Doesn't care (only Duke and UNC RD)</h1>
<h1>4 Deferred Yale EA (probably actually the smartest person)</h1>
<h1>4 No EA (only likes ED schools like Pomona; not ready to comit)</h1>
<h1>4 Deferred Harvard EA</h1>

Also, not sure about the exact ranks of most of them, but they are close enough.</p>
<p>We have a lot of people in a massive tie for 1st (my school doesn't weight GPA), but of the 4.0s:</p>
<p>Stanford admitted 5, defered 2
Harvard admitted 2
Princeton admitted 1
Yale admitted 1, deferred 2</p>
<p>Those are the only schools I've heard about, but I'm sure there are more.</p>
<p>yea...blah, we didn't do so hot this year</p>
<p>early admission stats:
stanford (5 accepted/5 deferred)
harvard (1 deferred)
