So, how'd your school do with top colleges?

ConfusedHSJunior · 03-30-2007, 03:44 PM

Since decision time is in a rush, I figured I'd throw this out there.

I only know of our Ivies.

Brown, 3 applied, at least two got rejected(including me), I'm not 100% on the third.
Harvard, 2 applied, one rejection, one waitlist.
Princeton, 2 applied, one rejection, one acceptance (Interestingly only our valedictorian and salutorian applied, salu. got in)
Columbia: I think we might have had one, not sure of the decision though.
Cornell: So far, since I don't know how many in total, 3 applied, none got in yet.
Penn: Well...they were recruiting one of our students for golf, but I guess he didn't get in.

Sorry Dartmouth for being ignored.

Ouch, we got smoked (again)

Cornell: 1/? (URM)
Harvard: 1/3 so far (recruited athlete early)
Yale: 0/3 so far
Princeton: 0/2 so far
Penn: 0/1 so far
Dmouth: 0/1 so far

Princeton: 1/1
MIT: 1/3
Ann Arbor Engineering (OOS): 1/1
Yale: 0/1 (waitlisted if this counts)
Cornell: ?/1

Then some people got into good 7 year med programs. We're such a small school and we're realitively brand new so this is awesome for us.

I don't know exactly how many applied, but out of a graduating class of around 200-250:
People going to:
Princeton- 3
Stanford- 1 (SCEA)
Cornell- 2 (1 ED)
UPenn- 2 (2 ED)
Brown- 1
NYU Stern- 2 (1 ED)
Top LACs- 4
Top Techschools- 2

we did amazingly well this year

Hmm. I'm pretty much out of the gossip loop, but as far as I know, these are the people who've been accepted:

Harvard - 2
Stanford - 1
MIT - 4

We're supposed to be the pride of the county. =] I'm sure that once I make an effort to ask, the list will expand.

a778999 · 03-30-2007, 06:59 PM

MIT accepted at least 14 from our school.

virtuoso_735 · 03-30-2007, 07:11 PM

Only my brother and I applied to top colleges. We're probably the only ones in years to do so.

Yale: 2/2
Harvard: 0/2
Princeton: 0/2
Stanford: 2/2

This has been a pretty successful year for my school (public) so far. My school doesn't normally do this well and I think these are the first Brown acceptances in years. I have no idea how many people applied to each school though.
Harvard: 5
Yale: 4
Princeton: 2
Brown: 1 (I think there might be one more but I'm not sure...)
Columbia: 4 or 5
Cornell: A bunch, around 13 or 14.
UPenn: at least 6 (lol. 2 kids had their parents donate a bunch of money and got in)
MIT: 2
A bunch of 7/8 year medical programs.
Dartmouth: 2+ (I don't think many students applied here)

I was waiting to hear about my friend's results but he lost all of his access information (passwords, PIN, etc) so now he has to wait for snail mail.

At my school, people only applied to local schools. One person applied to Harvard and got in, but I'm still planning to transfer schools.

margsala · 03-30-2007, 08:11 PM

as far as i know
princeton - 2 (twins)
stanford - 2 (same twins)
harvard - 2 (valedictorian, football player)
cornell - 2 (me, this other girl)

dc89 · 03-30-2007, 08:25 PM

As far as I know... well, I got into Georgetown, and three of us got into NYU (me and another girl CAS, a third Gallatin), and I have two friends waiting on Dartmouth and Columbia. We don't really do the whole top colleges thing at my school... I go to a performing arts school and people tend to be more interested in conservatories or smaller liberal arts colleges, or less-expensive state schools. A LOT of people stay in-state because Nevada has the "Millenium Scholarship," which basically means free tuition if you have a 3.2 or something like that.

snoopyiscool · 03-30-2007, 09:23 PM

Hmmm, well, counting everyone... [applied/accepted]
Harvard: 0/0
Yale: 0/0
Princeton: 0/0
Stanford: 0/0
MIT: 0/0

Gryffon5147 · 03-31-2007, 12:36 AM

Nobody applied to Ivies. Period. By logical deduction, nobody got in either.
Two people applied to UCLA, one got in. (He's the only one in anywhere close to a top college)
Nobody applied to any other private colleges. (Why do that when California has UCs and CSU?)

RenaissancePonce · 03-31-2007, 01:03 AM

Well... I'm not sure 'bout everyone, but we really have almost no one applying to "top schools":

Yale: 0/3
Stanford: 0/1
John Hopkins: ?/1 (Guy most likely made it in)
Georgetown: ?/1 (Girl most likely did not make it in)

I'm pretty sure that's everything. Unless you count me getting into Duke, Reed, and Vandy. 2 people at my school got into Vandy out of the few who applied, and I'm the only one who made it into Duke. Oh, and the fella who made it into John Hopkins also made RPI, which is very reputable in its field.

Not a terribly grand turnout for a public school with 3000 students, eh?

Inkontrol · 03-31-2007, 01:48 AM

Nobody applied to ivies. Are valedictorian got into Tufts University and I believe our #2 got into Vassar and Wesleyan.
