Question about public high schools & Ivy League

Parents Forum
1

<p>Does anyone have any links to information of the percentage of Ivy League students (undergrad) who came from public high schools? </p>

<p>I swore I saw data that showed roughly 50% came from public schools -- but can't find it or verify...</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Most of the schools post that information somewhere easily found on their websites.</p>

<p>I think for Harvard and Yale, it's more like 60-40 public-other (including religious and homeschooled) now. Other colleges may be slightly different.</p>

<p>Here's Harvard: 64-36 Class of 2010</p>

<p>yes, truly amazing that, while private schools represent less than 10% of kids nationally, they are so over-represented at the top private colleges!</p>

<p>Princeton: 57% public, class of 2011</p>

<p>JHS -- I'm embarrassed -- on your recommendation, I did look through the websites and found the info after just a bit of digging. Thanks for listing the links, however.</p>
