What type of schools are your seniors going to?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Well, we have a ~75% graduating rate.
Of that number, ~45% go to our local community college (which, to be fair, is quite good), ~10% go to local private schools (Adelphi, St. Johns, Molloy), 1% go to OOS State schools (think UMich) and not-so-awesome Private Universities (think Quinnipiac), and the other 44% go to a mixture of CUNY, SUNY, and a few OOS (usually small trade colleges in Pennsylvania). With regards to Ivies (and other schools of similar caliber), there was only one admit to several of them. :(</p>

<p>Better luck to the class of 2011, I guess.</p>

22

<p>^You’re a NYer?</p>

<p>Same here with the admission results. (although we did better this year than in so many previous years.)</p>

23

<p>^I’m a LIer, who for some reason are considered more detestable than their counterparts in NYC and upstate NY. </p>

<p>But it’s good to see that someone else goes to a school of similar academic caliber. :slight_smile:
There is no bond like that of misery.</p>

24

<p>Lol :). But I think I actually prefer going to a school where no one cares about college. Sometimes it’s so much better this way.</p>

25

<p>Practically everyone goes to Univ. of Nebraska-Lincoln or Univ. of Nebraska-Omaha</p>

<p>but otherwise…</p>

<p>Yale (2)
Penn (1)
Dartmouth (1)
Northwestern (2)
Williams (1)
Middlebury (2)
Carnegie Mellon (1)
Michigan (1)
Duke (2)
WashU (1)

<p>Yale (1)
Princeton (1)
Darmouth (1)
Washington University in St. Louis (2 that I know of, but there will be a waaay more than that, probably ~10)
Boston University (1)</p>

<p>We’ll probably get a few more into the Ivies/other top colleges. And then a ton will go to Mizzou, of course.</p>

27

<p>Our val is going to Dartmouth. We also have:
UPenn
Cornell (3)
Stanford
Duke
Carnegie Mellon
Georgetown
Lehigh (a bunch. Not sure how many)
George Washington (3)
Tulane</p>

<p>Pretty many kids got into really good schools but couldn’t swing it so they’re going to Pitt with a full ride. That’s all I can think of right now</p>

28

<p>Long Island Top Public</p>

<p>I know we have 8 students going to Cornell, 7 going to UPenn, 7 going to Syracuse and 7going to SUNY Binghamton. Most notable ones.</p>

29

<p>I don’t know too much (online school), but one girl is going to Harvard. I think the rest usually go to Arizona State, U of A, or community college. I’m hoping to add more diversity next year :D</p>

30

<p>Every at my HS goes to the Instates and small schools. A lot go to VCU, Va Tech, UVA, George Mason, UMD, NVCC lol. They all love this DMV area too much.</p>

<p>UC Berkeley (1)
UC San Diego (1)
Uni of the Pacific (1)
UC Santa Cruz (4)
UC Davis (9)
Sac State/ Chico State (a ton)
We also have a spattering of Oregon schools (Uni of Portland, Willamette) and quite a few people going midwest and such on sports scholarships…
A significant portion goes to the local community college.
And that’s about it.</p>

<p>No one has gotten into Stanford in 5-6 years (from talks with my counselor, it seems the only people from my town to get in have been very low-income and full hispanic). We had a Dartmouth 12 years ago, and the UC Berkeley also got into UCLA (no one else this year or last) and a wait-listing at Brown, Pomona College and University of Chicago. Those wait-listings were as close as it got to top schools and breaking the Ivy League, as everyone else was rejected from these schools.</p>

<p>My high school is pretty pathetic compared to all of these. Lol!</p>

35

<p>No ivies this year. Most of the top students are going to Berkeley/UCLA</p>

36

<p>Drpvv, do you live in the Sacramento area too? Which high school?</p>
