everyone else: pitt, penn state</p>
<p>for this year (class of 2005) public school in nj:
this is just amongst my friends, i obviously don’t know where everyone is going in my class (of 360)</p>
<p>3 Barnard 4 Brown 4 Carnegie Mellon
1 Caltech 3 Columbia 2 Cooper Union
8 Cornell 1 Dartmouth 1 Duke
2 Harvard 2 Haverford 5 Johns Hopkins
14 NYU (5 Stern, 1 Tisch) 3 Northwestern

6 Tufts 1 US Naval Ac. 2 UChicago
12 UMichigan 2 UNCCH 1 UPenn
6 WashU 2 Wellesley 2 Wesleyan
1 Williams 1 Yale</p>
<p>Jason Alexander graduated from my school and for those in the ny area who know Bruce Beck (does sports on news channel 4) also graduated from my school.</p>
<p>a few yes, but i think that this happens in a lot of school</p>
<p>I go to a public school that really isn’t recognized for its academics. Last year, there was only one person who went to an Ivy, and that was Cornell.</p>
<p>As for this year some people are going to:
1 Vandy
1 Claremont-McKenna
1 Cornell
1 Bard
1 NYU</p>
<p>Yea, my school isn’t all that intellectual.</p>
<p>1- Penn 6 year medical program (this guy is an extreme exception)
1-5 UCLA
1-5 UCB
1-5 UCSD
15-20 UCI
20-25 UCSC, UCSB, UCD
(counting myself, got into all uc’s)</p>
<p>Ive gotten two B’s in high school, and im still ranked #4 at my school.</p>
<p>The rest go to Cal States and Community College (we have a 400 student class)</p>
<p>33% of 175 kids usually to an Ivy.</p>
<p>top 5 kids at our schools and where they are going:</p>
<p>val. caltech
sal. ucla
sal. ucb
4. ucla
5. upenn (me)</p>
<p>the answer is no, my school doesn’t have a tradition of producing quality students. i think the socioeconomic background of the neighborhood has a lot to do with it. i live in a middle-class suburb (not upper-middle), so we tend not to have very many aspiring for the very top schools. as far as ivies go, we had one go to dartmouth last year. we have 3 going to northwestern, 2 to Notre Dame, none to UChicago. go to winnetka (where new trier hs is) and that’s where you’ll find ivy-bound students.</p>
<p>Private prep school in the ole, deep South (no, we are not all hillbilly ■■■■■■■ down South). Avg. SAT is 1241, which isn’t impressive compared to all the elite Northern preps, but is not bad either.</p>
<p>For my class of '05 (about 180 kids), here are the better universities/LACs: this is ENROLLING, more were accepted:</p>
<p>U of Penn- 1
Dartmouth- 1
MIT- 1
Duke- 1
Berk- 1
Vanderbilt- 5
Notre Dame- 2
USC- 2
Emory- 2
UNC-CH- 1 (out of state)
U Mich Ann Arbor- 1 (out of state, obviously)
NYU- 2
Georgetown- 1
U of Virginia- 2 (out of state)
Wake Forest- 2
Boston College-2
GA Tech- 6
Furman- 4
Good LACs:
1 Vassar
1 Mount Holyoke
1 Colgate</p>
<p>Several going to military academy</p>
<p>Also: other acceptances (but not enrolling): Northwestern (1), WUSTL (1), U of Chicago (1), Davidson (4). Also, acceptances to Cooper Union (very cool).</p>
<p>No acceptances to HYPS (boooo!!!). No applications to Brown or Columbia, or any UCs but Berk.</p>
<p>Pretty good, considering where we’re from and all.</p>
