At my high school (a public, non-application, single town school), it seems that if you are in the top 50% of the school, you are guaranteed acceptance to a US News Top 50 LAC or National University. I do not see why my school seems to be special in this case. Any reasons why? It just seems really easy compared to other schools to get into a good school.
