<p>Princeton has an amazing number of valedictorians – which can easily lead one to conclude that the average school, at best, delivers one student to New Jersey’s Ivy.</p>
<p>This year Phillips Exeter is sending 15 to Princeton. I was wondering, are there other schools sending a sizeable group to Princeton? If anyone knows about their own school, I would be curious to know.</p>
<p>What are the top 10 destinations for Exeter matriculants this year? And do you have a link?</p>
<p>I know that a lot of people were accepted from Thomas Jefferson High School in Virginia. Stuyvesant High School in New York City has at least 12 seniors going to Princeton (according to this site: <a href=“http://stuycom.net/user/senioritis.php)%5B/url%5D”>http://stuycom.net/user/senioritis.php)</a>, and there were probably more accepted, but they have hundreds of seniors. My school had 5 people accepted (1 ED, 4 regular), and we have some 200-250 seniors. In general, I suspect that in top private schools and magnet schools, there are more people accepted to Princeton(/Ivies) per year than there are in public high schools.</p>
<p>For more admissions statistics, I would recommend this site: <a href=“http://ivysuccess.com/princeton_2010.html[/url]”>ivysuccess.com is for sale;
<p>Big magnet schools/prestigious prep schools always tend to sent large numbers…</p>
<p>Three people (including me) are going to Pton this year from my school (it’s a good suburban public high school). The two other people were recruited athletes (Pton has recruited from our school a decent amount in recent years), but also have quite high grades. It’s about 1-3 most years at my school, I think.</p>
<p>I think only one person from my school is going to Pton…which considering my school is a public magnet, is surprising. I don’t know how many got accepted.</p>
<p>*oops, i meant 4 ppl (1 ED, 3 reg)</p>
<p>Given the size of the PEA’s garduating class, and for a school that only a relatively short time ago one had to list themselves off of the HU list,
I believe 15 to PU is no a big deal.Last year the numbers were to HU and Brown. and Penn. This year the draw seem to have come from H, P Dartmouth, the great news is that the graduating class boasts many students who selected to enroll in other wonderful top colleges even when an ivy league was among their choices. This certainly speaks to the caliber student of this institution.</p>
<p>My school, even though its a pretty prestigious prep school in PA, doesn’t send as many to Princeton than UPenn or Cornell, and less so even to Yale and Harvard. Two of us are going to Princeton next year.</p>
<p>I’m the only kid to get into an HPY at my school. I’m not the valedictorian. Our vals and salutatorian didn’t get into Princeton or any other Ivies. We’re a small Catholic school, but our graduating class was almost 200. We have some very smart kids who should get into Ivies, but they rarely do, as our school has almost no connections. It’s really frustrating, actually.</p>
<p>“Connections”? I have absolutely no “connections”, and I had no problems getting into HYP. What do you mean?</p>
<p>overall 30 (give or take) ppl got accepted into ivys but only half of that chose to actually go there</p>
<p>We got 7 or 8 people into Princeton this year. Affluent suburb, very competitive school, adjacent to Princeton.</p>
<p>Cosmic, I’m not talking about individual connections. Some schools are far more successful at getting kids into competitive schools. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible to get in from another school (obviously; my brother and I both got into Princeton, and three kids I know of have gotten into Harvard in previous years), but whereas many schools can send several of their top students to such schools every year, we are lucky to get one. And not for lack of highly qualified students.</p>
<p>hahaha we have like 1 person go to ivy league every 3 or 4 years from our school (granted I live in the SF bay about 3 ppl go to stanford every year)</p>
<p>My best friend is actually the first person I know of from my high school who got into, or at least chose to attend, Stanford. We’re smack in Indiana, so we have no geographic connections except to Notre Dame. Almost all the faculty kids go to ND, which is a large percentage of my school. I suppose every college has its own feeder schools!</p>
<p>There are lotsa high schools that send many kids to Princeton, most notable are probably:</p>
<p>Thomas Jefferson High School (VA)
Princeton High School
Harvard-Westlake (CA) LA
Brentwood School (CA) LA
Lawrenceville School (NJ)
Exeter (MA)
St. Paul’s (NH)
NCS (DC)
Stuyvesant (NY)
Hockaday/St Marks (TX) Dallas
Westminster School (GA) Atlanta</p>
<p>And for smaller states (as most of the above are large states) you see that most of the students, say from arizona (where im from), most students that matriculate to ivies are from the same school.</p>
<p>It isnt rare to run into many people from these schools at Princeton.</p>
<p>Hey thats a pretty good list. I would throw in Philips Andover and Horace Mann too, even though they would be near the bottom. </p>
<p>Oh, BTW Exeter is in NH, but it could be in Mass and no one would realize it considering the amount of Hah-vahd matriculators.</p>
<p>TJ sent 21 kids to Princeton this year. I don’t have a link confirming that as all internet sources available as of right now are incomplete in regards to TJ’s matrics (this was found out through word of mouth, not entirely credible I know but try and believe me on this). </p>
<p>Andover sent 6 this year. Byerly has the link out somewhere I don’t feel like reposting it.</p>
<p>TJ, Exeter, and Stuyvesant have a massive amount of matriculants to Princeton; Andover has more of a lean towards Harvard. Lawrenceville has a lot of Princeton matriculants as well, but that’s largely due to the geography factor.</p>
<p>princeton high sent in the high teens this yeah, again…</p>
