How many kids at your school get accepted at elite colleges?

<p>Public Magnet, class size 80 kids - This year we had MIT, Harvard, Columbia, Georgetown, Duke, Northwestern, 2 Johns Hopkins, 10 or so UVA, several William & Mary, UNC, USC. In past years we’ve had Yale, Princeton, Cornell, CMU, Michigan, etc. We do okay for our size.</p>

<p>Most at my school go to OSU; I think the last ivy we had was someone who went to Yale 7ish years ago…</p>

<p>My school is so ghetto… out of a class of over 500 seniors I only know of the Salutatorian (IB) going to MIT and the Valedictorian (IB CHEATER :frowning: ) going to Penn. My friend who is fourth in the class is stuck going to UF…</p>

<p>I know of:
1 UPenn (our valedictorian)
1 Cornell (salutatorian)
3 Duke
1 Washington U
1 Vanderbilt
1 John Hopkins
2 Elon
4 Wake Forest (I really don’t understand these people or why they would STAY)</p>

<p>And a bunch of UNC, like 30-40 range. That’s just kids I know, there may be others. UNC is the most common destination for our top students, and the best of the best will go to Ivies.</p>

<p>3 to Stanford
2 to MIT
1 to UPENN
1 to Yale
Like over 100 to UMich, but that’s because we’re in state.
Usually there’s at least one to Harvard Princeton and Yale. One year we had four to Yale so it fluctuates.</p>

<p>No one. No one ever.</p>

keep in mind these are accepted students not attending… And many of these kids are the same people (like for cornell and carngie have some overlap</p>

<p>Cornell 15 (used to be much much higher)
Yale 8-10
Harvard 2-3
Penn 10
SWAP 1-2 each
Brown 5
Stanford 8</p>

<p>My high school is crazy.</p>

<p>2011 admits
Brown - 10
Caltech - 2
Chicago - 15
Columbia - 15
Cornell - 26
Dartmouth - 9
Duke - 4
Harvard - 4
MIT - 5
Penn - 15
Princeton - 7
Stanford - 14
Yale - 7</p>

<p>2012 is similar, data isnt out yet (im off to MIT :D)
there are lots more to top liberal arts colleges, top public schools, ohter top schools, etc
yep were crazy</p>

<p>^wow do you guys go to andover or exeter or something?
these are ridiculous numbers of people going to elite colleges</p>

<p>This data is basically anecdotal but I think it’s generally correct. This is just acceptances, not matriculations, so it’ll have some overlap</p>

<p>Harvard–4
Yale–2
MIT–7
Princeton–2
Stanford–2
Caltech–3
Cornell–8 (that I know of?)
Carnegie Mellon–at least 10
Dartmouth–3</p>

<p>My school is pretty competitive generally but this was a tough year for admissions, I guess. Public, ~2,000</p>

<p>The average GPA of the top students this year is .3 less than it was last year, but for some reason, a lot of people are going into good colleges. Our class size is in the mid 80s.</p>

<p>(acceptances are in parenthesis)</p>

<p>Oxford: 1 (1)
Harvard: 1 (2)
Columbia: 1 (1)
MIT: 1 (1)
Stanford: 1 (1)
Duke: 1 (3)
Chicago: 3 (5)
Northwestern: 1 (2 or so)
Wash U: 3 (6)
Cornell: 2 (2 or so)
Notre Dame: 1 (1)
Vanderbilt: 2 (3 or so)
Wharton: 0 (1)
Hopkins: 0 (2)
Carnegie Mellon: Just me</p>

<p>My school’s a pretty average public. #6 in our class is going to JHU and #3 in our class got into Harvard and Yale. Oddly, our valedictorian got rejected everywhere except Texas A&M.</p>

<p>Our school, in it’s ~7 year existence, has only had four people receive acceptance letters from an Ivy League school: 2 to Princeton, 1 to UPenn, 1 to Harvard.</p>

<p>Of those four, one was accepted to Stanford. I believe it was the only Stanford acceptance we’ve ever had. None of these guys were valedictorian either (top 10%, for sure).</p>

<p>After that, we usually send at least 4-6 kids to Northwestern and maybe 1-2 kids to UChicago every year on a consistent basis.</p>

<p>Based on our school’s matriculation stats, you could basically call us a feeder school for UIUC at best.</p>

<p>This year we had one Duke, Columbia (me!!), Notre Dame, Michigan, and Georgetown, which was definitely not the norm. We also had 8 GaTech kids and about 15 UGA kids. Normally we have 1-2 out of state elites, with 3-5 Tech kids as well.</p>

<p>This is our 3rd straight year with a graduating senior going to an Ivy League (Yale, Harvard, Columbia).</p>

<p>…a lot. calculated at one point, and about 40% of 2010 went to an “elite” college.
class size is ~185, I think?</p>

<p>Harvard: 7
Yale: 11
Princeton: 6
Columbia: 14
Brown: 12
Dartmouth: 6
Cornell: 28
UPenn: 11
UChicago: 12
Williams: 8
Amherst: 12
Swarthmore: 5
Wesleyan: 20 (??)</p>

<p>(obvs there are colleges I’m not including, this is from naviance off the top of my head)</p>

<p>Dang Tarmiriel, where do you go to school?</p>

<p>Sent from my VM670 using CC</p>

<p>Since my high-school is slightly above average, I would guesstimate around 4-7 out of ~630. I know two such individuals - one is going to Cornell, the other Duke.</p>

<p>And I look above and realize once again that there’s no average on CC. Le sigh.</p>

<p>Class of 2011: </p>

<p>(MATRICULATIONS. Acceptance #s would be much higher.)</p>

<p>This accounts for 38% of the class.</p>

<p>Stanford, 15;
Yale, 14;
Harvard, 13;
Columbia, 12;
Cornell, 11;
USC, 10;
UPenn, 9;
Boston College, 8;
Brown, Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, Princeton, 7 each.</p>

<p>Plenty of acceptances. Probably about a dozen or two actually going. Last year’s class was a little more successful.</p>
