What percentage of your school is headed to Ivies+?

Applying to College

<p>I know most of us often refer to our schools "[non]competitive publics," etc. and say they "send [many/some/few] grads to top schools," but it'd be interesting to know what percent various members' school send to top colleges.</p>

<p>So: how many kids at your school are headed to Ivies, Stanford, MIT, Caltech, UChicago, Amherst, Swarthmore, or Williams?</p>

<p>For my school: 43/~1000 (~4.3%)
A lot of those are headed to Cornell or UChicago. Oddly enough, we send more kids to Yale than any Ivy other than Cornell. Weird.</p>

<p>I go to public school and my class has done surprisingly well in terms of college admissions. </p>

<p>5 Cornell, 1 Princeton, 1 UPenn, 1 Oxford, 1 UChicago, 1 Stanford. </p>

<p>In terms of top LACs, we have 1 going to Vassar and 1 going to Middlebury. </p>

<p>This is in a class of of 361 kids.</p>

3

<p>about like 15-20% if its a good year</p>

4

<p>I go to a private prep with an avg graduation class of ~70. Around 10% go to Ivies per year, and about 14.5% go to Ivy League schools + Stanford + Amherst, Williams, Wesleyan, and Pomona. About 30% go to Michigan.</p>

5

<p>2 Brown, 2 Stanford, 1 Harvard, 1 Yale, 1 UPENN, 5 Berkeley, 1 Middlebury, 1 Caltech, 2 Swarthmore, 2 John Hopkins, 1 Williams, 5 USC, 1 Wellesley, 1 NYU, 1 UCLA, 1 WUSTL, 1 Pomona, 2 Georgetown, 1 Davidson, 1 UChicago</p>

<p>My private school with graduating classes of about 90.</p>

6

<p>Idk yet. But this is what a facebook group said for people in my class and where they are going this year, and people I know that havent posted on the group but are still going to top schools anyway: 10 UC Berkeley, 4 UCLA, 2 Stanford, 1 Harvard, 2 Notre Dame, 1 Vassar, 1 Wellesley, 1 Tufts, 1 McGill. Idk about the rest of the smarties at my school, but I'm assuming Berkeley will be between 15-20, UCLA around 10, and we'll have a bunch more iveys, LACs, etc. I'm in a class of 496.</p>

<p>People, in my school attending:
UC Berkeley: 1(me) (3 accepted)
UCLA: 5 (6 accepted)
USC: 0 (2 accepted)
Stanford: 2 waitlisted (both rejected)
Brown: 1 waitlisted (I'm waiting for the decision)</p>

<p>No top private universities accepted, so far.</p>

8

<p>This year we have 2 kids going to ivies, but thats 7% of our class lol. (We only have 28 kids) But this year has definitely been the most successful in college admissions for my tiny school. In order of rank:</p>

<ol>
<li>UPenn (also accepted to Brown)</li>
<li>Cornell (tied with above)</li>
<li>Stevens Institute of Technology (strict parents won't let him go OOS and he didn't get into Princeton)</li>
<li>Rutgers Pharmacy full ride</li>
<li>Vanderbilt (me =D)</li>
<li>NYU (Stern)</li>
<li>Carnegie Mellon
...
Not sure of rank: Cooper Union</li>
</ol>

9

<p>Class of about 1000 kids</p>

<p>1 to Harvard
2 to Stanford
1 to Brown
1 to Middlebury</p>

<p>so it's less than 1% at a run of the mill HS</p>

<p>90% of these UCLA/Berkeley do not apply to any other school except maybe Stanford.<br>
~15 to UCLA
~10 to Berkeley</p>

<p>no other ivies or top LACs</p>

<p>Unless there's someone else who doesn't feel like bragging at school, that's about it.</p>

10

<p>0.2%</p>

<p>Each year, out of a class of 450-ish, one person goes to an Ivy.</p>

11

<p>about 50-60 at a great public school. class of about 600</p>

12

<p>Of a class of about 60:</p>

<p>2 Princeton
1 Cornell</p>

13

<p>Class of 25.
I'm going to Cornell.
Thats 4%.</p>

<p>Vanderbilt - 6
Williams - 1
USC - 3

UNC - 3
Princeton - 1
W&L - 2
UVA - 2
Columbia - 1

<p>UGA - 10
Georgia Tech - 2
Class of 87 people... 34.48% at top schools, 13.8% at UGA or GT.</p>

15

<p>For my class, it was 2/450 (1 Brown, 1 Yale) - suburban public high school. Though two students got into MIT and another into Yale but decided to go to ASU, DU, and USC instead, respectively.</p>

16

<p>prob top 5 % if all goes well (ivies or ivy comparables)</p>

17

<p>This year only one is going to an Ivy (Brown) outta 256. other pretty good ones: 2 to Johns Hopkins, 1 Harvey Mudd</p>

<p>last year no one made Ivies at all.</p>

18

<p>Something like 25-35% (Ivies alone), most of the others to UChicago and top LACs.</p>

19

<p>out of a class of 300, 1 person. 0.003%.</p>

20

<p>One out of 300 is .333%, carried to three decimals.</p>
