<p>& what is it's Newsweek ranking/approximate Newsweek ranking?</p>
<p>for me:
moderately competitive--around #130</p>
<p>My school isn't competitive at all. No Newsweek ranking,</p>
<p>Top 1000. Public. Pretty damn competitive. 15 people tied for Val. Funny because we're better than a lot of schools ranked above us. I posted this a few times, but this is what less than half the class of a top 1000 does:</p>

<p>We are of the Public Elite.</p>
<p>=P Yeah.</p>
<p>Newsweek ranked us with Thomas Jefferson, which we really don't deserve.</p>
<p>BCA Taggart?</p>
<p>We're competitive in pretty much every category imaginable...not sure about the Newsweek rating. Last time I checked it was the Top 1000.</p>
<p>very competitive</p>
<p>no newsweek ranking... :/</p>
<p>but its a public school with like a 30% acceptance rate now XD and we have the 3rd highest SAT scores in the state</p>
<p>My school is not competitive at all. Most students end up at the local community college, and it does not rank in Newsweek.</p>
<p>competetive i guess. rank 177</p>
<p>I doubt were ranked, but our school is interesting. The top half of our class for the most part goes to UCs, with say the top 20 of our class going to UCLA, Cal, or UCSD. But the bottom half of the class goes to community college.</p>
<h1>25-30? Not sure exactly where, somewhere between those, but yeah, we're not competitive at all. It's really nice.</h1>
<p>ha ha, we're not competitive AT ALL, although we get the occasional self-loving kid who appoints himself val and angstily broods because he never will be (and turns the entire school against the actual val because they all love aforementioned kid).</p>
<p>but i digress. and i think the only schools that are lower than ours in state ranking are inner-city Chicago schools. :p</p>
<p>Very. Unfortunately, it's gotten so bad that many friendships have broken over this year, mainly because of college applications/admissions. Lying, manipulating, etc. just to gain that "extra" edge/advantage over others. Absolutely ridiculous. (luckily, my friends weren't that bad... though I suspect a few said they were "deferred" ED when they were really rejected.</p>
<p>Well over a dozen going to Ivies this year.</p>
<p>I'm a private schooler. My school's competitive to a certain extent. Classes are harder and teachers are tougher and everyone goes to a good college (good as in not Community college or city colleges). But we don't have rank or GPAs or val/sals so there's not as much overt competition as in other schools. </p>
<p>I don't think privates are ranked on Newsweek.</p>
<p>In the 500's in Newsweek's ranking. Pretty competitive.</p>
<p>Our school's rank is off the charts [I'd say it'd be pretty close to ∞].</p>
<p>But CT, that doesn't make sense in this case. A lower number is better than a higher number in rank. See?</p>
<p>My next years HS will be a public elite (ranked in Newsweek! CT knows what I'm talking abt!).</p>
<p>wait... what does it have to do to be a public elite?</p>
<p>My current school is a private school so it's not ranked, but it does usually send at least one person a year to Stanford or an Ivy league and most others to various UC's (from classes of ~20 people). The school I went to freshman year is ranked somewhere in the mid-600's though.</p>
