| In looking at the whole "Prestige" thing I think it also has to do with acceptance rates as well as rankings. For example we all know the Ives were in the single digits. As for the UC's LA had 22.1% followed by Berkeley w/22.2% The next lowest percentage rate was UCSD with 40.2% From there it jumps up to UCI w/ 49% than SB w/49.7%. Davs accepted 53.4%!! So it's also impressive to be amongst an acceptance rate that was more selective. As for my son, he felt that everybody in his school got into Davis this year! Including kids that hadn't taken as many AP's etc... Not too much of an accomplishment. He was proud and honored to have also been accepted to UCSD, which not everyone was. Just a different perspective! |
