<p>The 2013 vals from our district (30 of them, largest district in the state) 4 are going OOS and 2 of those being OOS publics. 1 ivy and 1 to BC. That’s it. 4 are going to in-state privates- and not the ones you would think. The rest (22) are all in-state publics. Of the 16 in-state publics only 1 is headed to a non-flagship, the rest are 9 to the engineering school and 12 to the non-engineering state flagship. And this is all the Vals. Intended careers are mostly doctor/dentist/engineer. </p>
<p>Very different from when my kiddos graduated. Much more of a mix previously, including intended careers. Never so many headed to the state flagships. No MIT, Notre Dame, only 1 ivy, no service academies, nothing farther than the next state over for OOS public and only 1 other private OOS. That’s it for 30 vals.</p>
<p>Interesting to say the least. A distinct trend.</p>
