<p>My school prints out who’s going where in the school newspaper. I took a gander and to my suprise, nobody, and I mean nobody, is going to what us cc’ers would consider an “elite college”. Even the salu. is just going to the average state school. There are a couple folks heading to BU though. </p>
<p>Is it anything like this for anyone else here? This kind of worries me lol.</p>
<p>CC isnt exactly the most accurate gague for what is normal</p>
<p>Same in my school. 1 girl (who’s rich and Hispanic) is going to Cornell. That’s it. </p>
<p>-The Rich Coot66</p>
<p>Hmm I don’t know yet-they publish in August, but I know for sure that one girl hit about 5 ivies (including harvard, columbia, princeton)…She’s “hispanic” (really not, her last name is really hispanic-sounding), though she lives in the best neighborhood and everyone in her family has a lexus. She definitely needs the opportunities of aa.</p>
<p>Even from the best high school in the area 2 years ago one girl went to Princeton and another to BU. A lot of kids headed to UT. And this was a HUGE high school. CC is definitely not common.</p>
<p>meh 11 of the 46 seniors of my school are heading to UNC chapel Hill</p>
<p>but two people are going to harvard 
thats 1 out of every 23 people :O</p>
<p>My school is an IB school, but most people go to community college or a state school. This year was HUGE because two people got into Columbia and Stanford.</p>
<p>got in early: 1 UPenn, 1 Harvard, 1 Yale</p>
<p>accepted: one got accepted to UChicago, Northwestern, columbia
another got into brown…some1 else i kno got into georgetown (except he could be lying to me cuz he’s desperate…meaning, well he’s not even goin to prom and he lied about havin a gf).</p>
<p>my school has a reputation of sending students to top schools, so…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ouch. That’s a punch in the face to us Terriers eh Coots?
OP, what school? Barnstable?</p>
<p>^^ At my school it is very rare for people to get into top schools (as I posted above)
People aim for state schools, people don’t even know what the ivy league is.</p>
<p>chocolatelover, where do you that no1 knows about the ivies</p>
<p>I’m going to Harvard and MIT next year.</p>
<p>…just kidding.</p>
<p>My school has an interesting situation…there are really smart and motivated people in IB and people that take some AP classes…then everyone else can’t wait to drop out/flunk out, or they just don’t care, and are wrapped up in their own drama. 3/4 of our class might not be able to graduate…yay for public schooling.</p>
<p>You know, I just found out that a girl from 2 years went to Stanford and last year’s valedictorian went to Vanderbilt. Aha! All hope is not lost.</p>

<p>22 Ivies is pretty good though.</p>
<p>We’re kind of in the same situation as chipmonkey. About 10 people out of (i think) 33 are going to rutgers. =/ </p>
<p>Then I think 5 are going to TCNJ, 1 to UMich, 1 to Princeton, 1 to MIT, and 1 to the seven year med program at GW. And I consider my school to be bad compared to CC.</p>
<p>We have about 7 heading off to LA and 4 going to Berk, but we’re in-state.</p>
<p>We had one accepted to University of Chicago but he opted for Berk because of money.</p>
<p>I’m the only person accepted to/going to an Ivy(Dartmouth) at my school.</p>
<p>Besides that, all the “smart” kids at my school are heading to Cal Poly SLO. There’s seriously like 20 of them lol.</p>
<p>^
“I’m the only person accepted to/going to an Ivy(Dartmouth) at my school.”</p>
<p>Congrats!</p>
<p>loslobos, that’s better than my school in suburban southern CT. Where do you reside, sir?</p>
<p>Congrats Ranks. I envy you. I mean it’s great that you’re going to Dartmouth, but more importantly, you get to spend some valuable time with big Sam Andrew. Eli’s got some monster pop for a little nerdy, chef.</p>
