<p>Topic. Since this is my school's (A medium-size public school. My friends call it competitive but I really do not see it that way) first graduating class, we are sending the first senior class to their undergrad years. At the moment, we already have some acceptances, but they're all to either small state or private universities such as ECU or Campbell. But so far we have several applying to UNC (Albeit I doubt that many will be accepted, even though we are in-state, many of the applicants seem to have relatively low (<1850) SAT scores and light(<6 AP courses while our school offers 16) course loads), three applying to Duke, two applying to Cornell, one applying to both Vanderbilt and Georgetown, and two applying to MIT. To my surprise, the valedictorian is applying to NCSU (Not that it is a bad school. It's just that she wants to be a doctor and I feel that applying to somewhere like JHU, UPenn or Dartmouth would have been a better choice for her) </p>
<p>Though, most kids at the school do not really have any interests in higher education, so just going to community college would make the administration happy. </p>
<p>To be honest… not a whole lot of places, or variety. Most (around >40%) go to a community college, and only about 25% go to college (4 year) right afterwards. So besides the local college…</p>
<p>In-state, mostly. Virginia Tech is very popular, so is UVa, and then other “easy-ish to get into” schools like James Madison, Virginia Commonwealth, and that type.</p>
<p>I<code>m sure there</code>ve been a couple Harvard<code>s at some point in my school</code>s 60 year history. Some out of state<code>s include Appalachian State, West Virginia, UNC, etc. But off the top of my head of people I know, UVa, VT, Christopher Newport, some college in PA I</code>ve never heard of called Messiah. Rarely OOS. Old Dominion and VCU also typical.</p>
<p>That<code>s about it. Think up every college in VA and you</code>ll have where 99% of people going to college from my school go.</p>
<p>PBSC is where maybe 30% goes. (The local CC.) I’m guessing 50% don’t go to college. 15% go to UCF, USF, UNF, and other random in state schools. 3% probably go to one of the better in-state schools (UM, UF, or FSU). 2% go OOS. Most of those don’t go farther than the Carolinas. I know last year we had one kid end up at Duke. The percentage of kids going OOS has to be very low since all my English class (some of the smartest people in the school) talks about is UF, FSU, or UM. I’ve ran into plenty of kids who went to my school last year at PBSC (I take Dual Enrollment courses).</p>
<p>I’m a North Carolinian too- most kids at my school will go to Campbell (which is so close it’s depressing) UNC-Chapel Hill (I’d say like the top 20 of the class can go there), NC State, App State, WCU, of course ECU, and then a lot choose to do two years at one of the local community colleges and then transfer to a state school.
I’ve never heard of anyone at my school applying to a really exclusive school. No one applies to Duke, pr out of state schools, usually. Though one kid got into Virginia Tech last year, so that’s a good sign.I’m aiming pretty high compared to what most kids in my town will do.</p>
<p>Basically everybody at my school pursues some form of education after high school. Pitt, Penn State, CCAC (the local community college), Point Park, Temple, Slippery Rock and IUP are popular at my school. Most people tend to not go to very competitive colleges, though every year we get a few ivy/top school acceptance. Last year our valedictorian was accepted to Juliard, our salutatorian to Brown and somebody else to UPenn. I suspect our top students in this years senior class will end up at similar schools…</p>
<p>My high school has 100% college acceptance/attendance. Usually, quite a few people attend the big state school which is about 3 hours away from where I live. Some attend ivy leagues, about 10 people a year I’m guessing. And some also attend top-tier non-ivies (Duke, Georgetown, etc.). None attend community college, although there are a few each year who go to small state schools that pretty much let anyone in.</p>
<p>Most are the local community college. Beyond that, it’s mostly Rutgers and Rowan (I live in NJ). So maybe like 50 kids a class go out of state…maybe.
My friends last year went to University of Maryland, LaSalle, Rowan, and Rutgers, to get an idea.
EDIT: I think I’m one of two kids applying to MIT in my class. The other is a girl that I’ve never even met before… but she’s a girl, so she has a better shot of getting in. -_-</p>
<p>I think last year something like 60% of the class graduating class that is attending college is at Cal State San Bernardino. There’s usually one ivy attended every other year.</p>
<p>Public high school: half go to college
Of those who do 50% cc, 25% southern miss, 10% Ole miss, 10% state, the rest go to lsu South Alabama or southeastern Louisiana
Private high school sends 3/4 students to the schools above on significant Merritt aid. The rest go to Texas am Tulane Vanderbilt note dame and a few tho the academies</p>
<p>Private Catholic school: >95% go to 4-year, but very, very few (maybe one or two every year) to go the Ivies or other schools of equal caliber. We get some acceptances to the UC’s, but more to the CSU’s and other schools like them.</p>
<p>My school has a 100% graduation rate and about 97% go straight to college afterwards. There’s always around 400-500 people graduating so kids go to a large variety of schools. The most common schools are usually UIUC, UIC, UMich, Ohio State, Northwestern, Depaul, Loyola, or UChicago.</p>
<p>Some popular schools around here are Clemson, app state, unc Charlotte, unc chapel hill, CPCC, USC… Last year we got a kid to Harvard and MIT (there might have been others but I didn’t know/hear about them)</p>
<p>A lot of the graduates of my high school go to community colleges and state schools. Only about >90 people of the graduating class goes to world class universities.</p>
<p>50% go to a community college… 25% go to a four-year. The four years typically include local colleges (Siena, RPI, and College of St. Rose), some private schools (Syracuse, Northeastern, etc.), and mosttt go to our state schools. </p>
<p>We hardly ever send anyone to ivy leagues and other top schools… Last time we sent someone to Harvard was the class of 2000. Lololol.</p>
<p>I would venture to say, of a 450-sized end class, about half don’t go to college. Another quarter goes to the local JC. The rest all go to Texas Tech, two hours away, or other lackluster nearby colleges. Only a few students will leave the NM/Texas area, with an Ivy student every seven to ten years or so. It’s really sad, the average ACT score is a 19.0.</p>
<p>Hoping to be that rare Ivy-goer! Yale SCEA hopeful. :)</p>
<p>Wow, Duke? That’s pretty neat, most of the kids at my school either go to the military, community college, or Texas State, mostly military though since Small, slightly medium sized town + gigantic military presence = prime area for recruiting</p>
<p>I live in New Orleans, and the senior class size last year was about 154. Last year, the most common colleges that seniors attended were:</p>
<p>Louisiana State University (45)
Xavier University (13)
Loyola New Orleans (13)
Tulane (10)
University of New Orleans (6)
Emory (3)
Howard (3)
NYU (3)
Bard (3)
Washington Univ. in St. Louis (3)</p>
<p>Only two people in the past three years have not attended a four-year college. So I’d say we’re doing pretty well We have our fair share of Ivy League-ers too.</p>
