What is the most popular college from your high school?

Number one is the local junior college. Then Cal Poly SLO, Chico State, UCSB, UCSC, SDSU - a couple are going to UCLA, Cal, UC Irvine, UCSD, Puget Sound, and Willamette. This is from a large public high school in California.

The top one is tied between IU-Bloomington and Purdue-West Lafayette, then probably Ball State. After that it’s a mix of IU-Kokomo, Indiana State, IPFW, IUPUI, and Butler. Some kids go out of state, usually to a university in Illinois or Ohio.

  1. Bowie State University
  2. University of Maryland
  3. Morgan State University

VCU
JMU
VA tech
UVA

  1. Missouri Western State University
  2. Northwest Missouri State University
  3. local junior college

Most kids don’t go to college, very few go out of state/private

UW Madison, UW La Crosse, UW Eau Claire etc

  1. CU Denver
  2. Colorado State University
  3. University of Northern Colorado Very few people from my school leave state and we have 2500 students. There were around two people that went to USC, but I can't think of anyone else who left state.
  1. Boise State University
  2. University of Idaho
  3. BYU
  1. Wake Tech (community college)
  2. East Carolina University
  3. Appalachian State University Occasionally 1-3 get into an Ivy League. A good amount go to UNC Chapel Hill.

UW Madison, U Minnesota, UW Milwaukee, U of Chicago, Northwestern, MIT (at least 1 or 2 a year)

Anyone Else?

Anything SUNY, with basically the whole top 20% applying to Binghamton.

  1. UNC Chapel Hill
  2. NC State
  3. UNC Charlotte

20+% of my school goes to Iona College or Pace University and commute

My kids’ school:
Penn State
Temple
U Delaware

Guessing here, but probably;

1- UNiversity of Minnnesota

2- " " Wisconsin

3- " " St. Thomas

University of Illinois
University of Iowa
Indiana University

Not a very creative list. We have 750 kids or so per class and something like 85% go to a four year college. Guidance counselors tell all of the kids to apply to Iowa for their rolling safety since UIUC is no longer a safety as our in-state option. A ton of kids end up at IU’s Kelley Business School.

At my old school, the three most popular choices were CU Boulder, CSU Fort Collins, and UNC. As for my new school, I have ZERO clue. If I absolutely had to guess, I’m sure UMass Amherst would be one, and I’d guess(???) the other two are UMaine and UConn.

At my high school, the most popular colleges for seniors were:

  1. University of Buffalo
  2. Canisius College
  3. John Carroll University
  4. University of Notre Dame

There was one to MIT, Berkeley, Harvard, BC, UNC, Michigan, a couple to Georgetown and some to Rochester, Virginia, and Vanderbilt

GCSU & Kennesaw State
