<p>Lucky Star Boy, Congratulations on Madison - I also live in the Twin Cities and didn’t realize the Maple Grove schools were ranked so high - to what ranking are you referring?</p>
<p>UCLA also looks at SATIIs, right along with SATs. You don’t mention them,but I am guessing they were quite strong.</p>
<p>Benjo, I graduated from wayzata… that’s the ranking that I was referring to. I’m not sure if it’s an official ranking, but they always just told us that we were #34.</p>
<p>I know for a fact that it’s the LARGEST high school in the state.</p>
<p>And a few months ago they had College Jeopardy there.</p>
<p>tell me you got into UCLA. That school is not that hard for somebody like you to get into, unless you’re not a Californian.</p>
<p>yo saying Vandy is harder to get into than cornell or carleton is bs</p>
<p>and turning down Carleton for Wisc is just silly</p>
<p>cant take the cold, boy??</p>
<p>wait are you talking about Carleton in Canada? is that a good school? my cousin goes there and i always thought it wasn’t that great :s what’s so good about it?</p>
<p>oops nvm, carleton COLLEGE</p>
<p>Assuming you are not a “recruited” athlete (which would get you into Harvard), accepted everywhere except for Harvard and Carleton.</p>
<p>Yikes, I posted before seeing our results.</p>
<p>Congrats. Vandy surprises me… you seem right up their alley. I take it you didn’t want to keep going with baseball… seems like Carleton would have been good for that.</p>
<p>This sort of thread is actually a really good idea. I’d be interested to see a lot more of this sort of thing.</p>
<p>And congratulations on your schools.</p>
<p>Yess… Vandy came as a shock to me too. It was my least favorite one that I applied to though. I didn’t take it too seriously.</p>
<p>And I’m talking about Carleton in Northfield, MN.</p>
<p>I really wanted to go to UNC, but to hell with that. Getting in OOS is impossible. Wisconsin was the next best thing.</p>

<p>After edit: I see you were mentioning Wayzata, rather than one of the high schools in the Osseo-Brooklyn school district. And I see your high school teachers didn’t mention what list was the source of “#34.” I’ve seen lots of top 100 high school lists with NO high schools from Minnesota. I think Edina is STILL the most prestigious public high school in Minnesota, not without competition on Wayzata’s part, and Eden Prairie is still the largest.</p>
<p>
Didn’t expect this.</p>
<p>Tokenadult, I have NO idea what list they were referring to. It’s something i’ve come to believe, however, since it is a very large school in a very high-buck area, the ACT/SAT scores soar above the national averages, and the whole place is shiny and new.</p>
<p>But you’re right… there was no good citation of that. I didn’t use that fact on any applications though.</p>
<p>What he said except UCLA rejected
I’m pretty sure you got into Harvard</p>
<p>Oops my browser didn’t show me the other pages…</p>
<p>2e4L, what are you talking about?</p>
<p>Haha sorry I was on page 1 and I was referring to the ostensible poster above me.</p>
<p>bump, can more ppl do threads like this one?</p>
