How Did Your HS Fare In The Early Round?

Applying to College
1

<p>My high school traditionally gets around 6 people into VERY elite schools (I'm talking literally all of HYPMS). However, we have never gotten more than two people into these by December 15 (via early action/decision).... until this year. This year, I think our class of 300 did reasonably well for a random public school in the middle of Maryland. Here's where people applied and the results.</p>

<p>Yale: 3 Applied - 2 Accepted, 1 Rejected</p>

<p>Penn: 4 Applied - 2 Accepted (one of which to Wharton), 2 Rejected</p>

<p>Stanford: 2 Applied - 1 Accepted, 1 Rejected</p>

<p>Brown: 2 Applied - 1 Deferred, 1 Rejected</p>

<p>Darmouth: 1 Applied - 1 Deferred</p>

<p>MIT: 2 Applied - 2 Deferred</p>

<p>UChicago: 1? Applied - 1 Accepted</p>

<p>WUSTL: 1 Applied - 1 Accepted</p>

<p>So anyway, that's that. Overall I'm really proud of how the class of '09 is doing so far. We're REALLY hoping to get people into MIT, Harvard, and a couple other places this far.</p>

<p>Post your HS's results and be sure to CELEBRATE!</p>

<p>We have 1200 kids in my class, and we are a very good public school (probably send 40+ to top 25 schools (we are a northwestern feeder), and atleast 5 to hypsm a year). This year, I was the only kid to get into a top school early (CORNELL WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!) and I was only ranked 75/1200. Some kid ranked 3/1200 got outright rejected from penn early. Everyone wants to kill me.</p>

<p>We didn't do to well... last year we ended up with I think one at Yale, one at Brown, one at MIT because of athletics, and maybe a few other Ivies.</p>

<p>I only know about the people who got in, so there might be a lot of people I'm missing here, but this year:</p>

<p>Yale -- deferrals and rejections
Dartmouth -- at least 1 deferral
UPenn -- 1 accepted
Caltech -- 1 deferral
Cornell -- 2 acceptances, some deferrals and rejections
