Is it common for high achieving students mostly go to state flagships?

<p>In some schools yes, in other schools no. For instance, my friend went to a school of 500+ where she was one of three students to go OOS (to W&M no less). The rest of the students all went to either a state flagship or a community college. It can be really eye-opening when you realize how different it may be in other areas of the country.</p>
