where you are going compared to where your best friends are going

Applying to College
1

<p>I think It'd be interesting to see how your friend's achievements are compared with yours and whether being around those people throughout your high school years had any impact on how well you did.</p>

<p>Ill start...</p>

<p>ill be attending UW-Madison
here are schools some of my closer friends will be attending:
UW-Madison (5 friends), Harvey Mudd, Northwestern, Purdue, Minnesota-TC, Rochester, Lehigh</p>

<p>As you can see me and my friends are attending very similar schools academically. I definitely feel that being around those people the past four years had an impact on my achievements in school because seeing them work hard set a good example for me and motivated me to do well.</p>

<p>you turn :D</p>

2

<p>My friends and I will be attending similar level schools.</p>

<p>I will be attending Dartmouth.</p>

<p>Friends: Princeton (2), CalTech (3), Cornell (2), WPI, NYU-Sterns (2), Johns Hopkins.</p>

<p>Neurotic overachievers meebe?</p>

3

<p>I’m off to UPenn, and most of my friends are headed to top Canadian schools with major scholarships; a few are headed to schools in the US (Princeton, Amherst, Berkley, UVa)</p>

<p>We’re all in full or partial IB (that’s how I met most of my friends) so I guess the fact that we’re all hard-working and academically focused has helped (it makes sense though, as someone who likes to party all the time and doesn’t care about school probably wouldn’t have much in common with me)</p>

4

<p>Almost all my friends who are seniors this year are going to public Texas schools except for one who is going to UChicago. :P</p>

5

<p>I can’t say that my friends are exactly high achievers -2. lol. But, they’ve definitely kept me grounded. A close friend has vowed that she will continue her straight-B streak in college. :]</p>

<p>Knowing that I can always procrastinate with help is a great thing. ;]</p>

<p>My friends have helped me realize how important the big picture, not the little one, is. Grades are important. But, if you can’t enjoy life, well, that’s a problem.</p>

6

<p>I’m going to Cornell, my closest friends are going to Brown, Colby, Umass Amherst, and Cal</p>

7

<p>I am going to Cornell as well. Of my friends, 3 are going to Stanford and 1 was accepted at MIT, but not attending.</p>

8

<p>UChicago, and my best friends are going to UT Austin and Stanford.</p>

9

<p>My D’s friends are all over the country, at all tiers: UPenn, Penn State, Wisconsin, Quinnipiac, Lehigh, Michigan, Vanderbilt, Ithaca, BC…</p>

<p>She is attending Newhouse…</p>

10

<p>Son will be attending Villanova, friends at Colgate, Amherst, Lehigh, Penn State, Pitt, Otterbien, Brown, Cornell, Michigan, CMU, Northwestern.</p>

11

<p>Im going to Bowdoin. My best friends are attending: Wash U in St. Louis (3) Cornell (2), U of Chicago(1) Wesleyan(2) CUNY Honors college (1) UDel Honors College (1), Tulane(1) Syracuse-Newhouse communications School (1) and my boyfriend is going to Stanford. Sort of a mix. None of us got into Ivies except for cornell. Tough year. But I got my first choice, so did many others.</p>

12

<p>I’m going to Michigan State. My best friend is going to CU-Boulder. My other good friends are going to Columbia, Washington State, Pomona, Texas A&M, Dartmouth, and the rest are all going to U of Alaska Anchorage in-state.</p>

<p>A combo of huge state schools and elite private schools, at every region in the country.</p>

13

<p>im going to bryn mawr college, and my two best friends are going to william and mary and harvard. some of my other good friends are going to georgetown, princeton, and rice.</p>

14

<p>i’m going to cornell. my two best friends are going to cornell.</p>

15

<p>I’m going to Amherst, and my friends are mostly going to the local “state” university. A few went Imperial, LSE in the UK though.</p>

16

<p>I’m going to MIT, and a lot of my friends are going to Notre Dame or University of Michigan, the usual destinations for my school’s high achieving kids. I have groups of friends going to Loyola Chicago, MSU, Grand Valley State University, and a few other more-local universities.</p>

<p>People don’t really tend to leave the midwest around here.</p>

17

<p>I’m going to Wesleyan. My bestfriends go to UMass, S. Carolina, UVM, Quinnipiac, and Mass Maritime. I wasn’t really into hanging out with the academic kids, all my friends were athletes.</p>

18

<p>I’m going to Dartmouth. My best friend is going to Arizona State; the other is a rising senior sadly.</p>

<p>I think that only one of my friends is going anywhere prestigious; she’s off to NYU. The rest are pretty much going to UArizona or Arizona State.</p>

19

<p>i’m going to UC Berkeley. My best friends are going to Berkeley and UPenn and Davis and DeAnza Community College and UC Davis. </p>

<p>hmm kind of a mix</p>
