What percentage of your school is headed to Ivies+?

Applying to College

<p>Hmm, the top 3 at my school will probably going to Duke. So the breakdown for the top tiers is as follows:</p>

<p>Duke 3
Northwestern 2</p>

<p>Most of the rest are going to UAB/Alabama/Auburn</p>

<p>Looks like no ivies this year. Last year was a big haul, though.</p>

62

<p>This year, .4% if you like rounding.</p>

63

<p>a partially complete list of my school is here: </p>

64

<p>Suburban public school:</p>

<p>UPenn - 2 (one Huntsman, one CAS)
Columbia - 1
Cornell - 1
Cooper Union - 1
UC Berkeley - 1
Claremont McKenna - 2
USC - 1
Olin - 1
Bowdoin - 1
Northwestern - 1
Johns Hopkins - 1</p>

65

<p>Haha, 0 in my school. The most well known top tier anyone got into was Northwestern.</p>

66

<p>21 percent are enrolling at "Ivy League" schools, out of a class of 141.</p>

<p>I can give a MUCH bigger number if I include Amherst, Williams, Notre Dame, Georgetown, other top Us & LACs.</p>

67

<p>Harvard - 1 or 2, Yale - 1, Brown - 2, Columbia - 2. That's all I know of at this point.</p>

<p>In general my school (which graduates 700-800 kids each year) doesn't send a whole lot of kids to Ivies, but TONS to the schools just below the Ivies--huge representation at schools in the 10-30 range as rated by USNWR.</p>

68

<p>Out of 300, this year, we did well for our private school.
1 Harvard
1 Princeton
3 Cornell
3 Dartmouth
3 Georgetown
6 Notre Dame
5 Northwestern
3 Tufts
2 Hopkins
2 Wash U
1 Duke
4 Michigan
3 University of Chicago
1 Vanderbilt</p>

<p>The rest to state schools or catholic schools like BC, Marquette, Holy Cross, Trinity, and Providence. Also, some other state schools. Usually the ivies have taken only minorities or athletes and never more than one student to each ivy, but they are starting to take more now and the kids that are going are for academics mostly.</p>

69

<p>Public High School in Mass with 260 students
1 at Dartmouth
1 at Brown
1 at Williams
1 at USNA
6 at Holy Cross
1 at BC
1 at Colgate
2 at RPI</p>

70

<p>Out of 500 graduating students, about 10 will go to the ivies or other top 10 schools, another 5 will attend top LACs. </p>

<p>So roughly 10% of the graduating class attends a top 20 school</p>

71

<p>We have two kids heading to Ivies: One to UPenn, and another to Dartmouth (me.) </p>

<p>We only have a couple more who are going to otherwise top schools: 1 to WashU, 1 to NYU, and another to UCLA. Our school isn't that great: it's a public Arizona high school, so we're subjected to very limited funding. Our class size this year is 550. </p>

<p>.36% are heading to Ivies
.90% are heading to top schools as a whole (I might have missed some, though I doubt it.)</p>

<p>Just an FYI, these are just those attending the institution, not acceptances. There's no way for me to compile acceptances at my school.</p>

72

<p>1/140. So .7%</p>

73

<p>Class of about 450 people:
1 Yale, 2 UPenn, 1 Brown, 1 Dartmouth 1 Cornell, 1 Columbia, 1 Duke, 1 Washington University in St. Louis, 2 UChicago, 3 Georgia Tech, 3 NYU, 1 Johns Hopkins, 1 Carnegie Mellon</p>

<p>So...about 4% went on to good schools. Not a bad year.</p>

74

<p>zero point zero zero.</p>

75

<p>Class of around 75:</p>

<p>Harvard: 3
Yale: 4
Princeton: 1
Columbia: 4
Penn: 3
Cornell: 1
Brown: 1</p>

<ul>
<li>about 30 more to the top colleges/universities listed on CC</li>
</ul>

76

<p>^^^^that's freaking impressive</p>

<p>1....me :)
people in my grade applied to penn, princeton, columbia, cornell, and yale this year....</p>

<p>but i was the only one to get into any of them (even when they thought i had no chance)</p>

<p>however i'm heading to a liberal arts school this year (swarthmore) because my family wanted to stay close</p>

<p>congratulations to everyone! :^)</p>

77

<p>like 10% of my school went to GTech, but only 2 or 3 went to an Ivy (all Yale)</p>

78

<p>Just one (Me!) going to UPenn. But this year we had one Duke and one MIT too. But one girl got into Carnegie Mellon and the valedictorian was a huge legacy at Cornell. But both of them opted for UF instead.</p>

79

<p>My son's HS has maintained its perfect record of having 0% attending Ivies. My S will go to Stanford, and another boy is going to U of Chicago. That's it for top schools. This out of a class of ~150, where 49% go to 4-year schools and 44% go to 2-year schools.</p>

80

<p>Class of 600.</p>

<p>1 ivy (Dartmouth)</p>
