Public undergrad school to Ivy graduate school - possible?

[aStyle]

<p>

I have recently heard that only about a handful of students who graduated from Uconn receive admission to Ivy League graduate schools. I even heard that only one student was accepted to harvard in the past couple of years, which seems like baloney. However, as right or wrong this my be, the source that told me this does have a point: even though Uconn is considered good by many in Connecticut, what are the chances of getting into an ivy league school after you graduate?

<p>I don’t have any numerical facts on how many public undergrads get into Ivy’s but there is this kid who lives 3 houses down from me. His brother went to UConn pre-med around 2004 and now he’s in Harvard Medical School. Stop being so skeptical, these people are real in living flesh. I also saw another previous post where this girl went from UConn to Harvard.</p>

<p>It’s not baloney, but it’s going to be hard. I think you already know the whole spiel on <em>work hard in college, have motivation</em>. But that’s the only way to get into the Ivy, by working hard! What other way is there?</p>

<p>I kinda feel you. More than 50% of my class applied to UConn. I got accepted there but I want to go to Penn State. However money is a big factor…</p>
