<p>^^ this is from flipping through my school’s paper where they list where all the students go from THIS year. in previous years, I think we have done better, like in my year.</p>
<p>and note, I am only listing pretty prestigious schools that everyone is going to. A majority of students still go to not-so-good schools, but out of a class of 620, I think these numbers are impressive.</p>
<p>notably absent this year, but not absent last year, are: Cornell, MIT, Stanford, Caltech, Swarthmore, and Williams.</p>
<p>I know of friends from this graduating year who got into those schools, but oddly, no one chose to go to them. lol.</p>
<p>For my school, probably:
University of Alaska, Anchorage
University of Alaska, Fairbanks
Arizona State
and then the state university systems of Washington and Oregon
Alaska Pacific University
various private schools in the Pacific Northwest
Other Pacific Northwest Publics</p>
<p>Public school in NYC:</p>
<p>Dozens to Cornell and NYU.
Tons to SUNY Binghamton and SUNY Stony Brook.
A lot to Columbia, Dartmouth, U Penn, U Chicago, Brown, Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon, Boston U, Boston College, Emory, and St. John’s.
A good portion to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Caltech, and Duke.
Many to CUNY Honors Baruch, Hunter, and CCNY
Handfuls to RPI, RIT, Northeastern, Cooper Union, and Fordham.</p>
<p>U of Minnesota (any location)
Bethel University
St. Olaf
MN State U
Gustavus
Iowa State</p>
<p>We have many slightly better than average students, but few that truly excel. One of our students (out of a graduating class of 610-ish) is going to Harvard. We have one going to Northwestern, too.</p>

<p>Does anybody out there realize how much more interesting this thread would be if everybody would take 5 seconds and give a brief summary of the type and location of high school he/she is from? kwu apparently understands this, many others do not.</p>
<p>No need to be a jerk about it, Schmaltz. I’ll redo mine to please you:</p>

<p>A couple of my classmates are going to Israel for either a gap year or to join the Israeli Army.</p>
<p>I guess I can list many universities, including a few Ivy’s… but title ask for most popular.</p>

<p>University of Michigan- Ann Arbor
Michigan State University
Central Michigan University
Eastern Michigan University
Western Michigan University
Ohio State University- Columbus
University of Minnesota- Twin Cities</p>
<p>Resident of mid-Michigan, public high school</p>

<p>Pretty nice, “rich” public school in Tennessee</p>
<p>University of Tennessee
Middle Tennessee State University
Auburn
Belmont</p>
<p>I don’t know.</p>
<p>Our grad class of ~360 is full of smart kids, party school kids, and people with a bit of both.</p>
<ul>
<li>Vanderbilt (like 14)</li>
<li>Cornell (also like 14)</li>
<li>Columbia (around 10)</li>
<li>Michigan (probably borderline double digits)</li>
<li>Georgetown</li>
<li>WashU</li>
<li>Tulane, BU, Penn State, 'Cuse, Miami…Basically where the academics are solid but where the drinking is off the charts</li>
<li>Lots of LACers (Amherst and Middlebury are pretty notable as being popular)</li>
<li>Yale (I think 5 students this year)</li>
<li>Penn (4-5)</li>
<li>Quite a few students other Ivies + other top schools (interestingly enough, the very best unhooked students seem to go to Dartmouth or Princeton)</li>
<li>UChicago was popular in the past; don’t know why so few are going this year</li>
<li>SUNY Binghamton (I think 6ish this year; literally 1/3rd of our school applies here every year; it’s basically our school’s safety)</li>
</ul>
<p>Here are some interesting points I’ve found out from my school’s record:
- Harvard legacy is a lot bigger than what people think
- Penn legacy in a competitive school is almost a prerequisite for making Penn…but when you have legacy, you are almost a sure-fire entrance, provided everything else is decent
- MIT and Caltech are interested in a completely different applicant pool; they realllllly want to see a passion for mathematics (we’ve had 3 MIT/Caltech students in total over the last 5 years; 2 were USAMO qualifiers and 1 was an athletic recruit)
- Good luck getting into UCB or UCLA out of state.</p>
<p>BTW, if anyone’s interested, despite the results at my school, it is simply a public school without any entrance exams required. With that said, it is located in an extremely wealthy town so there is selectivity in that you have to be rich in order to afford the astronomical taxes of the town.</p>
