<p>2 to Dartmouth, 3 to Cornell, 4 to UPenn, 1 to Brown, and 4 to Yale for my school.</p>
<p>^HOLY CRAP!!! 1) do you go to philips or deerfield or something?! 2) IF NOT WHAT SCHOOL DO YOU GO TO 3) how did those people get into yale already? thats discouraging to say the least :(</p>
<p>I think he means applied? None of those results have come out yet. Unless your school is a powerhouse for athletes.</p>
<p>Nonono those are the people who applied so far.</p>
<p>^yeah, he probably means applied</p>
<p>oh gosh. phew lol</p>
<p>Stupefy, there are a few NYC schools that have better exmissions than PA or Deerfield. Check Collegiate, Chapin, Brearley, Horace Mann, Trinity, and Regis out for exmissions over the last 5 years, and keep in mind that they’re proportionally tiny compared to PA/Deerfield (the latter of which is highly overrated). Your jaw will hit the floor ;)</p>
<p>^OH. MY. GOD. so depressing 
and unfair!!</p>
<p>collegiate:
Harvard University 22
Princeton University 19<br>
Yale University 18 </p>
<p>horace mann:
Yale 34
Harvard 41</p>
<p>^are those acceptances!!! (or applications)</p>
<p>thats a bit misleading, because those stats are gathered from 5 years if you look on the website (for collegiate)</p>
<p>Keep in mind, those are over 5 years. Granted, they’re still a lot.</p>
<p>Jinx. Now you can’t talk.</p>
<p>haha the funny thing is i was going to follow up on my post saying that for horace mann it was also a 5 year period, and in my post i also said “granted, the numbers are high…”</p>
<p>(i guess im talking anyway) ;)</p>
<p>I know, but still. Divide 40 acceptances by 5 years, and that’s still EIGHT PER YEAR in a class of just over 100. (and that’s just to one school- if you think about it, probably the majority of the class goes to Ivy leagues, and like 90% go to top 20 schools) Ridiculous.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, I wonder how those schools work, I mean those students must all be outstanding in different aspects. I mean the people from my school who applied to HYP are all very similar in stats and passion. Or are those kids super rich with legacy parents donating a ton of money ever year to the ivys? From my school only about 1 person gets accepted to HYP every year.</p>
<p>imagine the valedictorian O_O</p>
<p>that’s insane, I can’t even imagine what the competition is like at those schools.</p>
<p>our school sends on average a grand total of ZERO to the ivys. there might have been one for stanford last year, but that’s probably the only exception. Yale really seems to dislike my school…nobody that’s applied there in the past 5 years has gotten in :/</p>
<p>^ Not sure if you were saying that the 1 person from my school who gets in is the valedictorian? But from my school it actually is never the valedictorian but a recruited athlete, URM, wrote a book ( or some other big accomplishment), ASB President, etc… The valedictorians tend to be only concerned with studying and don’t have great ECS.</p>
<p>our val’s always suck at the SAT</p>
<p>our second, third(me) and nine all have shots at good schools</p>
<p>@collegestress- part of it is that they have excellent, highly qualified college (separate from guidance) counselors, whereas we public school students have to deal with incompetent, distracted guidance counselors. another part of it is that those schools are nationally recognized, so just being a student there will increases your chances of admissions. and of course better education/more resources= better test scores, more accomplishments. then lastly, you have the fact that most of those students are super rich (tuition is almost 40k a year) and are more likely to have legacy or big donor relatives</p>
