<p>Yale for top students; we had about 6-7 apply early, but UPenn is probably most popular overall, since it is pretty close.</p>
<p>hmmm...so far for my school, harvard and yale is the most popular schools to apply to. there are probably two or three of us applying to stanford. I'm the only one in my school to apply to both MIT and caltech.</p>
<p>the top colleges of at my school are TCNJ (The College of New Jersey) and UDel...yeah...lol</p>
<p>my school doesnt think about ivies, they think about GA Tech and UGA...lol i'm the first one to even consider the ivies</p>
<p>Most people applied to U of Oregon I think. Not a top school, but not crappy either.</p>
<p>Harvard .</p>
<p>My school doesn't send people to top colleges. Ever. A girl got accepted to UC-Berkeley last year, and it was such a big deal that the principal personally congratulated her over the school-wide PA system during class. She ended up going to Minot State University =[.</p>
<p>A handful of kids make it into UND or NDSU, some go to U of MN-Twin Cities, and a select few sneak away to Madison/Mizzou/UIUC. The remaining to go Minot State or Montana State. </p>
<p>I could probably get into an ivy and shock the hell out of everyone, but I'd rather go elsewere.</p>
<p>I go to a tiny school in New York so there are only a handful of people that go to Ivies every year. Generally Cornell, but there is one going to Yale this year and one went to Harvard last year.</p>
<p>Always Stanford...I think it might have to do with location/a higher number of legacies...but it's like the school for people from my hs...</p>

<p>Haha, same thing happened to me with MIT.</p>
<p>A lot of people seem to be applying to Yale this year. The most popular schools are always UC/CSU's. My school sends ~10 to UCLA/Berkeley (combined) each year.</p>
<p>No body goes anywhere from my school. They all stay around here at very little known public universities (like you have to live here to know them!) or go to OSU with the exception of a few kids who go out of state to bigger name schools like Syracuse and American U but even those are few. WE do however send like 1-3 a year to Oberlin and a couple of years ago one went to Harvard, but he was Indian and got a 36 on his ACT, so no surprise there. I think he even got a full ride. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>More than half a dozen people from my school applied to Stanford and Yale each... Also, three people applied to Rice, which is weird for a school in Minnesota.</p>
<p>our school always sends a chunk of graduates to UW-Madison each year. We've had one person in the last three classes go off to Yale, and a handful of people in this year's class sent an application to Brown. WashU and Northwestern are also popular choices (as far as applications are concerned; I don't know how many, if any, actually went)</p>
<p>I think it really depends on where you live. If you count Berkeley, that's definitely where the majority of my friends are applying to since we live near San Francisco.</p>
<p>Otherwise, if you're thinking more Ivy-level, it should be Stanford. After that prob UPenn or Columbia or something. I'm not sure.</p>
<p>No one from our school applied to an Ivy except for me (Val). The rest applied to Louisiana Tech like always...basically a 3rd or 4th tier school. 2 got into LSU, and 1 is applying to some OOS but nothing in the top 50.</p>
<p>No one has ever gotten into a school in the top 100 from my school. I'm the first ever (Tulane/Drexel so far).</p>
<p>^ That's hecka cool. I always wonder where my school is on the spectrum of high schools ... like even though my classmates always complain about how 60% of our school goes to comm. colleges, there's even some who don't even apply to Ivies. </p>
<p>Congrats getting into Tulane/Drexel though.</p>
<p>Yeah our school sucks.</p>
<p>My school isn't competitive at all. I think less than a quarter of our students go on to college, and of that quarter, around 75% go to community college. We're not stupid, it's just that our school doesn't know how to prepare students for college. Of course, we did have a lucky few who did go to top ranked schools. In the past few years, one student got into Georgetown, another got into USC, and last year another student got into Emory.</p>
<p>By far, Yale EA. I think we had 40% of the class apply this year-which is ridiculous. </p>
<p>Other than that, a lot of people apply to Boston College, Georgetown, and Williams</p>
