Public School sending 10% to Ivies et al.

<p>My public HS has around 375 kids in the graduating class.</p>

<p>We got in:
30 to Harvard
around 5 to MIT and Stanford
a few to each other ivy, and more to other top schools.</p>

<p>Public HS in Westchester, NY - Class of 150ish - </p>

<p>2 Princeton, 1 Harvard, 4 Cornell, 3 Columbia, and about 25 more going to either top 25 schools or top 10 LACs.</p>

<p>Flipsta- almost 10% of class to Harvard? wow lol.</p>

<p>hmm, sounds like Boston Latin then...you know, the school for whose students Harvard was CREATED?</p>

<p>The greatest number of students from our school end up at Cal. Last year, it was 56 out of 400-something.</p>

<p>Our CA public school was quite weird this year. Last year
was big (around 50 or more each) for Cal, UCLA, UCSD.
Don't know the final numbers for this year, but it seems
like a big number for UCSD, smaller numbers for Cal
and UCLA. Ivies+ may be higher than usual this year.
5 people I know got into both Harvard and Stanford,
4 picked Harvard and one Stanford. 1 Pton, 1 MIT,
1 Caltech, 1 Northwestern, many USC ...</p>

<p>I live a half hour from boston. kinda wish i went to boston latin lol. i go to a good school... a catholic school. umm i know we sent 2 kids to MIT, 1 to princeton, and other people got in dartmouth, cornell, mcgill, etc. people got full scholarships to bu, suffolk also.</p>

<p>Out of approx 200 seniors, I believe 6 Penn, 1 Dartmouth, 1 Yale, 1 Cornell, 2 or 3 Georgetown, 2 or 3 UChicago, and I think 1 Amherst. That's just off the top of my head, may be more to other places that I don't know and maybe more to these colleges, but around there. Last year was a disappointment though for our school, lol</p>

<p>We have around 16-20 every year into Top Tier Schools (Ivies, MIT, Stanford...etc.) out of around 300-350 (depending on the year)</p>

<p>so, like 5%?</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>--"Cornell doesn't count as an Ivy to anyone here. =P"</p>

<p>Wow you are a completely pretentious @$$hole. Screw you.</p>

<p>Figgy is obviously going to Cornell this fall :) And it's true; Cornell isn't an Ivy to anyone here. It's just some podunk wilderness school. lol I love this.</p>

<p>wow your cool, keep feeling special.</p>

<p>Guess you really are going to Cornell. Sigh.</p>

<p>Whoaaaa sorry man, I didn't mean to offend you. I just meant that soo many people go to Cornell from my school that it isn't as much of a head-turner as it is for some other schools. It's like how someone from the East Coast looks very highly upon someone going to UCLA, but Californians don't consider it as special because it's much more common.</p>

<p>But, I assure you, everyone recognizes that Cornell is most certainly still an Ivy.</p>

<p>K for some reason I got really insulted with how you said it so nonchalantly...and then that other guy didn't make it better. np</p>

<p>Graduating class of 380
About 10-15% go to top 25 university or top LAC</p>

<p>Umm yeah, UltimateFrisbee was kinda being a douche.</p>

<p>Ya, definitely...</p>

<p>Funny thread...</p>

<p>I consider it pretty rare. My school considers this their best year yet, because we have: </p>

<p>1 to Georgetown, 1 to U Mich, 1 to NYU, 1 to Muhlenberg, 2 to Mount Holyoke (yay!), 1 to Binghamton, 1 to BU, 2 to Fordham </p>

<p>Last year, they sent:
2 to Binghamton, 1 to Colgate, 1 to CCNY Honors, 4 to SUNY Stony Brook, 1 to Brandeis, 2 to Boston University. </p>

<p>Years prior, the only ivys we have ever sent students to have been Columbia, Cornell and Brown. </p>

<p>I realize it's unimpressive for you, but for a school that had 132 seniors in the beginning of the year and approximately 100 walking at graduation, it's quite a feat. It's also eventful because my school's new SAT average hovers around 1400, so that the few of us who did make it outside of CUNY (nobody is honors, btw) and into U.S. News ranked schools were able to is very, very impressive.</p>

<p>Class of 700,
1 to MIT
1 to Columbia
1 to BC
1 to Colgate (football)</p>

<p>yeah public school</p>
