<p>I was really surprised to see statistics showing that my normal public high school sent over 10% of last years class to the ivies and MIT Stanford Williams and Amherst. How unusual is this?</p>
<p>Not that unusual to me.
My school also send 50+ out of 500 seniors (apprx.) to top20s this year</p>
<p>Hahahaha..........my public school, has, to my knowledge, broken one kid into the top 25 in the last 10 years or so</p>
<p>my public school is sending two to MIT (yay!), one to Duke...and that's about it. A lot of the guys in my school are going to military academies...and I mean a lot. It's ridiculous.</p>
<p>We normally have about four kids going to either ivies or top 25 schools--so not a lot when you consider class size is almost 400.</p>
<p>My public high school (the only school who offers IB in our city) is sending at least 20 people to ivies including 3 to Harvard, a couple to Cornell, as well as CalTech, MIT, Stanford, Brown, Columbia, West Point, Duke, Georgetown, and Yale. These students basically are ranked 1-20 out of 1300. The next 20-40 students are going to UT Austin, and the rest go to other random schools or nothing.</p>
<p>We send about 10% of our kids to those kinds of schools, too. Princeton (6+ this year) and Harvard (4 this year) are big for us (300 total). A few to Columbia, Brown, Duke, Dartmouth, Penn, Stanford, Caltech, MIT... Cornell doesn't count as an Ivy to anyone here. =P</p>
<p>I live in a 'burb right outside new york city ( bronxville). We have a small senior class of about 97-99. Top 25 School admits (according to us news): 2 Princeton, 1 Yale, 4 Duke, 1 Columbia, 4 Dartmouth, 2 Northwestern, 2 Cornell, 1 University of Chicago, 1 Vanderbilt, 1 Georgetown. As far as top LACs (I'll just do top 10 according to US News) : 2 Williams, 1 Amherst, 2 Middlebury, and i believe 2 Davidson. </p>
<p>By the way, im just reporting where they have chosen to attend next fall, there were much more top 25 admits and top 10 lac admits; not sure where everybody was accepted, just know where they have decided to attend.</p>
<p>Out of ~450 seniors, I'm guessing over 45 go to top schools. Two got in to Harvard, two more to MIT. I dunno about the rest.</p>
<p>I think we had around 20-25 to Ivies and Stanford out of 330.</p>
<p>You go to Bronxville? i used to know people from there..Im sure theres at leas 1/2 people in ur school who go/went to my camp(dont be surprised if ne one went from ur grade its 7-17) Its called frenchwoods</p>
<p>Out of my my graduating class of 200, about 50 have gotten into to top 25 schools (mainly Michigan)</p>
<p>Yeah sorry, never heard of it</p>
<p>You guys have crazy high schools. Out of class of 700, we have 3 Dukes, 3 Stanfords, 1 each for Columbia, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, Northwesterns and probably 30 to 40 UCLA/Berkeley.</p>
<p>From a crappy high school:
2 Stanford
5 UCB/UCLA
out of ~300...that's less than 3%! And nobody has gone to an IVY since 8 years ago...</p>
<p>Our school is apparently top 20 in the state, but that's a joke...I think we had 1 Brown admit, 1 Georgetown admit, 3 duke admits, and 1 penn. And that's about it.</p>
<p>My hs of 300 this year has approximately 7 mit, 5 caltech, 2 harvard, 2 princeton, 2 columbia, 5~ish cornell and jhu, 20~ish duke, 3 unc moreheads, 270~ish unc-ch admits as far as I know. Of course, some (but not many of these are cross admits). And this was a bad year. (Last we had 11 mit, 5 harvard, 3 princeton)...</p>
<p>My school sends about 37% kids to ivies! pretty impressive if i dont say so myself, 3o+ people in my school got into harvard this yr.</p>
<p>class of ~500
2 Harvard
1 Yale
3 Brown
1 Duke</p>
<p>hey my old one was 45 in country and i dont know how that one happened</p>
<p>My senior class had 257, valedictorian got a 1600 on his SAT, three 800s on his SAT II, and went to Stanford.
The only four other people who went to top 50 schools (Georgetown, MIT, Boston University, Tulane) went for athletics.</p>
<p>Eighty-three kids out of 257 went to UMass-Dartmouth.</p>
