<p>How do you people get this information? It seems pretty nosey to me. </p>
<p>All I know is that one kid got into Yale. Don't know anything else at this point.</p>
<p>"How do you people get this information? It seems pretty nosey to me."</p>
<p>They post this stuff in our school newspapaper (but they have to get the senior's permission first)</p>
<p>In the last issue of the school year they have everyone's name and the college they are going to, and where they applied and if they got in or not. (as long as the senior gives permission)</p>
<p>We usually fare pretty well, but this year I haven't heard too much buzz regarding early admissions. Class of about 600 people and this is what I know for our ED/EAers, when it comes to the super prestigious schools...</p>
<p>Yale: ? applied, 1 deferred (and the rest rejected, to the best of my knowledge)
MIT: ? applied, 1 accepted
Northwestern: ? applied, 1 or 2 accepted
Cornell: ? applied, 1 accepted
Stanford: Several applied but haven't heard of any results, meaning probable rejections
Georgetown: ? applied, 1 deferred </p>
<p>Then there are people going to USC, I'm going to Carleton, etc. I don't think many people do EA/ED, and we send a lot more to UCs than we do to privates. These are just what I hear through the rumor mill...so I'm in the dark about a lot of it, obviously.</p>
<p>Yeah, but thats at the end of the school year. How do people know these things now?</p>

<p>I don't think anyone applied to Stanford..but they usually only accept one kid from my school anyway...and I go to a really small school so everyone knows everything about everyone!</p>
<p>Yeah, but thats at the end of the school year. How do people know these things now? </p>
<p>People talk. Usually the people that made it into a good school like to brag about it and people who don't make it like to complain to friends.</p>

<p>Everyone talks to everyone else about it.</p>
<p>I feel like I'm in a different universe from you guys. I can definitely see the "Two Americas" poor Edwards used to talk about before he was booted. Here in South Jersey, where the vast majority of people are blue collar, I don't even think the term 'elite colleges' exists. No one cares. What's important is to get into the best school for you given the realities of money. Over forty percent of kids go to community college because they can't afford anything else. It is completely foreign to our school to go around listing or comparing colleges with an eye to see how many got into the 'top tier'--I think if you did that you'd be viewed as someone who needs to get a life. Sure, some kids get into top schools (ivies or other elite colleges)- about two or three per year in a class of about 450. But not one could do so without massive financial aid. But while people are proud of those who get into top colleges, they are proud of any kid who gets into the college they wanted to get into. If a kid really wanted to get into Rutgers, for instance (because it's relatively a good deal), and they get in--yay! If I sound peeved, I apologize. It's just that when I read your posts - and perhaps I'm wrong - I don't see any real awareness that there are people out there who don't have any degree of the privileges you have, nor the attendant value system of obsessiveness over labels and designer brands (this includes college). Again,perhaps I'm wrong. And of course, congratulations to those who got into the school they wanted.</p>
