<p>about 25-30% the rest go to other top schools, usually LAC or places like UChicago</p>
<p>I know of at least one Princeton and one person who got into Johns Hopkins but decided not to go there. There are probably a few more at top schools, but not many. A very large amount go to either Michigan or Michigan State. The three senior classes combined are probably 1500 put together.</p>
<p>There are 282 kids in my class.</p>
<p>I'm going to Northwestern, My friend is going to Pomona, and another friend is going to Cornell. Oh, and my other friend is going to Grinnell, and that's a good LAC so I'll count that as well.</p>
<p>4 kids going to top schools out of 282 = 1.4% </p>
<p>Last year we sent a girl to Notre Dame and another to University of Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>Many people choose to apply to UW-Madison and that's all, so that's where they go.</p>

<p>Class Total: 42</p>
<p>So, to top schools as listed on CC: 23/42...55%</p>
<p>I went to a Catholic school with about 800 students. A large portion of the school is URM's who get tuition help because they didn't want their kids going to the district's public high school (high drop-out rates, low college placement, high crime etc). I honestly think my school provides a great education compared to any public school in the area and it's a fabulous opportunity for those otherwise highly disadvantaged kids to get to a school that cares if they show up for class and cares if they might fail.
About once every five years, we send a kid to the ivies or an equivalent school. My class's valedictorian went to MIT. The best school a kid from the class before me went to was U Chicago. The best school the class after me sent a kid to was Franklin & Marshall. </p>
<p>By some miracle, I was number twenty-seven in my class of 170 and am headed to Swarthmore in the fall. yay!
I wonder what transfer admission is like for students at my school? how many kids do you think, coming from "average" schools get a kick in the pants in college and end up going to stellar places?</p>
<p>Maybe 2%? (10 char)</p>
<p>None.</p>
<p>One student is headed to UVA (guess ;)) -- the valedictorian got into Tufts but choose to attend Boston College because of financial aid. A handful got into LACs like Bowdoin. </p>
<p>Occasionally (every few years) we send off people to schools like MIT or Harvard.</p>

<p>I think that was a troll post.</p>
<p>anyways, a good year here is 1%.</p>
<p>We have 2 kids going to Ivies, and a couple going to elite LACs: one to Trinity (CT), two to Bowdoin, 4 to Tufts, etc.</p>
<p>We have like 13 people going to Northeastern, though. It may not be elite, but it's a huge number, considering last year only one person went. Same with BC.</p>
<p>Our public school will graduate 425 students, of which only half will apply to college.</p>
<p>Of those who applied to an Ivy or top end school, only one did not get accepted to one of the Ivies or CC top school. The following results from those who applied:</p>
<p>1 - Princeton
1 - Dartmouth
1 - Cornell
1 - UPenn
1 - Duke
1 - UChicago
1 - Tufts (WL at Stanford, but little hope given the Stanford yield)</p>
<p>Seven who applied, six got accepted (excluding Tufts). The remainder all applied to state schools or good LAC, with mixed results.</p>
<p>This is a common result at our school each year.</p>
<p>how big's your school zamzam?</p>
<p>26% to Ivies- 5 to Columbia, 3 to Harvard, 3 to Yale, 1 to Penn, 1 to Dartmouth, 1 to Cornell from our class of 53.</p>
<p>We have a bunch more going to other top schools, though, including 2 to Stanford, 3 to Georgetown, 1 to Duke, and 2 each to Williams, Amherst, Wellesley, Middlebury, and Bowdoin.</p>
<p>^wow, ur school is pretty sick.</p>
<p>LACtransferhopes, my class has ~320 people in it.</p>
<p>Ivy Percentage. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha. </p>
<ol>
<li>1 to MIT. 1 out of about 250. 1 who happens to be a male African-American with a good-but-not-2200-good SAT score and few achievements. </li>
</ol>
<p>Screw you, 5% and over schools; people in our school go to places like SUNY Cobleskill and SUNY Oneonta. A non-minority Ivy-hopeful's prospects in my town are very, very grim.</p>

<p>Probably a school like Boston Latin School, or another Boston-area school that has a lot of ties to Harvard. Those numbers don't look unusual to me at all.</p>
<p>^^^No, sounds more like Andover or Exeter to me.</p>
<p>2 out of ~120, so abot 1.5-2%. And this was a good year. Oh and no other equivalent schools either.</p>
