11 acceptances from Harvard-Westlake School to Columbia University? (from the link C02 put up) That is outrageous. I've never even heard of that high school. Pfft.

The only thing that's outrageous is your ignorance. So because you haven't heard of the school (who the heck are you to know?) therefore it's an outrage that it managed to send 11 people to CU?

justbelieve - Harvard-Westlake is the big-time private school of Los Angeles. Or at least one of them. They're a bunch of geniuses.

No, not a bunch of geniuses. H-W isn't unique in its Ivy placement success. You'll find similar results at any of the other elite private schools like Andover, Exeter, etc. All these schools handful of geniuses and mostly everyone else is reasonably smart and just did all the right things and jumped through the right hoops due to proper guidance from the school and proper support from their parents.
