<p>Where do the kids in your school go to? I ask because kids here seem to go to really competitive schools.</p>
<p>50% Eastern [homestate] Community College
15% University of [homestate flagship]
25% University of [homestate non-flagship] or not very good private University in state
5% A school you’ve heard of that I have not mentioned
5% Military or Workforce</p>
<p>Less than 2.3: Northern State Community College
2.4-2.9: State Commonwealth University
3.0-3.4: Medicore colleges (5 of them)
3.5-3.7: Barely better than mediocre college (1 college)
3.8-3.95: State Polytechnic University
3.95+: Official State University, Public Ivy (out-of state)</p>
<p>There’s never been a student in our school to ever get accepted to an Ivy, and around 90% choose to stay in-state.</p>
<p>If you have a GPA above a 3.7, you basically have 3 choices, and one of them is out-of-state, so you really have 2 choices, if you stay in-state. </p>
<p>Our State Uni is an excellent school and everyone wants to attend, it’s a public ivy:) I could rant about how amazing it is, but that wouldn’t be relevant!</p>
<p>What’s a flagship? And what makes the colleges medicore?</p>
<p>Mediocre, as in you need a 3.0-3.4 GPA to get in, don’t really have to take any AP Classes or have any EC’s and have just average teacher rec’s. These universities are known throughout the country, and have good basketball teams, but they lack in their academics.</p>
<p>Most people go to these places and then transfer to our state uni. However, they are by no means “Bad” schools, they’re just average. Grading scale is really easy, classes aren’t difficult, ect.</p>
<p>The one college that is barely above mediocre has been rising in the past few years, becoming a little more selective and improving it’s academic rankings.</p>
<p>Our Polytech school was really bad around 12 years ago but now it’s a popular school in many different states.</p>
<p>EDIT: To further add, the amount of kids from my school that go to our state uni is about 5%, or even less. It’s extremely selective.</p>
<p>These are the stats for last year’s graduating class at my school. The class I’m is much more competitive though so these numbers will definitely change.</p>
<p>59% 4-year college or university.
33% 2-year college</p>
<p>The rest are work, career institutions, military, gap year, etc.</p>
<p>A handful go out to ivies, like 1 a year, maybe 2 or 3, and probably 10 or more go to something like Carelton, Amherst, Williams, some nice liberal arts. Most go to state, UT, A&M, some smaller private state schools like Baylor or North Texas. Others are at like Colorado State or some place in Hawaii. I’m going to CMU myself so I’m not sure where I’d place that, most going into engineering just go to UT. I’d say that all those who go to 4 year university make up about 30% of the school at most. The rest just go to community college (which isn’t a lot that choose to go) or go into the work force.</p>
<p>~50% local (bad) CC
~5% not-so-local (better) CC
~20% CSU
~15% UC
~10% privates</p>
<p>1-2/yr–relatively prestigious private</p>
<p>Mostly (at least fifty percent) city and state universities/colleges in New York and Catholic colleges/universities. The rest go to various non-religious private colleges/universities (top ones being rare), with ivy folks being highly rare cases.</p>
<p>99% to 4 year college
Plurality to UCinci, UKentucky, or somewhere else nearby
Top kids usually go to top 20s, but the only tippy top school we usually have is Harvard.</p>
<p>45% Community college
25% CSU’s
25% UC’s
5% UC Berkeley or some other school, last year had one go to Stanford and one to Princeton</p>
<p>They become roughnecks on the Slope.</p>
<p>Most people go to Rutgers. It’s kind of pathetic.</p>
<p>Although I can understand that it probably because they give a lot of full rides/financial aid.</p>
<p>Most kids in my school go to college after high school.</p>
<p>As of right know the kids in my school go to my school…</p>
<p>About 50% go to the southern state university. It’s…pretty crappy.
About 40% go to our official state university. Which, considering our state, is an upgrade from the previous option but still quite sucky nevertheless.
About 8% go to pretty nice private universities that are still in-state.</p>
<p>About a whopping 1.5% attend public universities in states bordering ours.
Ahh…and, like, 0.5% actually go on to modestly prestigious private schools in the Northeast, Cali, etc.</p>
<p>lol I think about one kid makes it to the Ivies/Ivy equivalents once every three years or so out of a graduating body of over a thousand. And my school district’s actually supposed to be the second best public school in our state lol…</p>
<p>I would say</p>
<p>50% community college or no college
30% CSU
15% UC’s
5% privates or OOS. Probably more privates because there are a ton of them near LA</p>
<p>50% not/local CC
25% CSU
10% UC
5% military
4% to 5% no college
0% to 1% Ivy or Privates</p>
<p>UNLV is THE cool place to go to college this year. </p>
<p>Besides there, it’s a toss up between UCR and Fullerton. Maybe 4-5 kids to UCLA too.</p>
<p>100% of my HS’s graduates attend 4-year colleges. (Hurray for being at a private college prep school!) So far in the Class of 2010, I know of 6 people out of 85 who have already been accepted at Ivies (3 to Yale SCEA, 3 to Cornell ED, no overlap). I also heard that there was a seventh person who got into Dartmouth ED earlier this year, though I’m not sure who it is.</p>
