<p>How many Harvard attendees have come from public high schools? If you are currently going to Harvard and have come from a public high school please comment.
Thanks,

<p>I mean i'm probz gonna go to yale and I go to a pub high school.</p>
<p>My friends (public school grads) at harvard almost exclusively have friends from private highs, but there is a healthy count of public school kids as well.</p>
<p>Two kids from my school go to Harvard, and we're a large public school. However, we're technically private I think because of zoning regulations etc. but it's free.</p>
<p>Most come from public schools.</p>
<p>My school is an exam school, but it's technically considered a public school.
An average of 25 people from my school go to Harvard each year. And approximately 9% of each class end up at an ivy.</p>
<p>Please reply if you go to an actual public high school. thanks</p>
<p>Hey!! I got to a small public school with 300 kids. We only offer 2 AP's (I'm going to take 9 though) and I'm looking @ harvard</p>
<p>Yeah, I go to a public charter school and our class is 120 kids, but I'm looking to Harvard.</p>
<p>I go to a public school and the val two years ago went to Harvard.</p>
<p>I went to a public, rural school. Non-charter or magnet. Second person is school history to go to Harvard.</p>
<p>i go to a top 100 public high school. we get one in at harvard every few years...and usually about five a year into ivies/stanford/mit.</p>
<p>I went to public school, and went to Harvard. One girl from my HS got in and attended the year before me, two people the year before that, and one guy the year before that. A girl also got in and attended two years after me. I have no idea what the public/private breakdown is right now, but I found an article that said it was 45% public school people in 1908. I doubt the school would've grown MORE elitist since then, so it's probably still a half and half breakdown. For what it's worth, my blocking group of 7 had 5 public and two private, I think.</p>
<p>i saw stats that said it was even higher, like 55% public now</p>
<p>I went to a public high school and right now I'm at Harvard writing a paper for my history class tomorrow....</p>
<p>I go to a public school in New York City that's usually ranked with the speciailized high schools like Stuy. There are around 250 students in the senior class, and lots apply to Ivies every year...but the actual acceptance rate is always changing. :/</p>
<p>I go to a large rural public school, (non-magnet, non-tech, non-IB, etc) of 3000 students. We sent one URM valedictorian to Harvard 9 years ago.</p>
<p>Oh my god ^^^^^, and I thought my school was bad (at getting Harvard matriculants.)</p>
<p>Lol well my class sizes are roughly 400, and in the last 82 years of the school not a single Harvard.</p>
<p>Idk how that compares to yours, considering your class size is gigantic.</p>
<p>I also find it hard to believe that one person's comments... 25 acceptances to Harvard, 9% go to ivy?</p>
<p>If your class size was 250, which is high for those super private schools that send a lot, 10% of applicants would go to Harvard. Obviously you said 9% go to all, so obviously you must have an even larger class.</p>
<p>If 25 people are going to Harvard alone, and 9% go to Ivy in entirety, you must have an extremely large class. If you had 25 from each Ivy alone that'd be 200 students going to Ivies and a class size nearing 2000.</p>
<p>I'm just finding it hard to believe...</p>
<p>No one has gotten into an ivy from my school in like 20 years hopefully I will change that</p>
<p>^ There are 600+ish kids in my class, 3000 in the whole school :) so your situation is worse.</p>
<p>i think they sound equally as bad =P</p>
<p>Well after reading that person's stats profile, 358 students in her class.</p>
<p>That would mean 7% of her class goes to Harvard.</p>
<p>And there would be only 7 spots left for all other ivies. So your school produces, yearly, about 25 Harvard students, and only one other student per Ivy. I find it too hard to believe =/ but obviously no point in lying...</p>
