Where do the kids in your school go to?

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>-about 25% to U of MN (Twin Cities)
-about 20% to other U of MN/MN State universities
-about 20% to community college (that’s what the statistics say; it seems surprisingly high to me)
-about 15% to in-state/regional private schools
-about 10% to various out-of-state public schools (mostly in Wisconsin)
-about 2% to elite universities
-among the rest, there’s a mix of military, work, and small private schools that don’t fit into any of the above categories. </p>

<p>This is highly approximate (as in I’m basically completely guessing), but it seems to be somewhere around the pattern for most “good” suburban public schools in MN.</p>

22

<p>75% go to the state school/other instate schools. 10% go to okay expensive private schools, 10% go to top 20, 4% go to Ivys,stanford and the like. BUT my school is considered the best in the state (it’s certainly the most expensive)</p>

23

<p>5% ivies+stanford+mit+caltech
15% other top 25 private
20% state flagships
30% other state publics

<p>I’m not going to try to give numbers, because I have no idea what the actual percentage is. My school is pretty big and it’s pretty divided between those who do things and those who don’t. I only know kids that do things, so my view is kind of skewed. I’ll just give some generalizations. </p>

<p>A lot of kids go to no college (those that don’t do things).
Of the rest, most common is probably non-flagship state schools (I’m in PA).
Pitt has been really popular the last few years. I know about 15 kids that go there, and that’s just that I personally know. PSU is also pretty popular, but not nearly as much as Pitt. </p>

<p>We also send pretty many kids to top schools. This year’s class has 5 going to Ivies (three Cornell, a UPenn, and a Dartmouth) and there’s still some more waiting to hear back. Boston University is also really popular for some reason.</p>

33

<p>The top level of students (maybe top 10-15%) attend schools ranked in the top thirty or so. A TON attend Mizzou. WashU STL is also insanely popular for a Top 15 school - we got about 15 people in last year. Then again, a lot of professors at WashU send their kids to my school, so there may be someone of an advantage for them.</p>

<p>Oh, and a lot of kids go to community colleges. Still other go to lower-ranked schools in other states. Very few don’t graduate, and hardly any attend military schools.</p>

34

<p>30% - Community College
30% - Decent/Bad State Schools [Farmingdale/Old Westbury/Cortland/Delhi/Albany/Buffalo]
15% - Good/Great State Schools [Stony Brook/Binghamton/Geneseo]
10% - Decent to Good Private Schools
5% - Good Out of State Universities [Maryland/Delaware/Virginia]
5% - Top 20 or Equivalents</p>

<p>5% - Workforce/Military</p>

35

<p>Out of a class of IB kids:</p>

<p>60% UCs (mostly Cal, LA, SD, Davis)
15% decent/good private schools
10% prestigious private
5% random other
10% community college</p>

36

<p>The most popular schools from my graduating class were Penn, NYU, Pitt, Penn State, Temple, GW, Miami, Michigan, and BU</p>

37

<p>Hmm…</p>

<p>In hindsight my high school was very white, very rich, and very suburban. I spent all of my high school years with the school’s high-achievers, so bear in mind that these numbers may be too positive.</p>

<p>A lot of people went to the local community college.</p>

<p>I’d say a good number went to UCs; we had maybe 2-3 dozen to Berkeley, two dozen to UCLA, and a lot to the lower UCs (this was out of a total of ~600 students in the class). Almost everybody I knew in the AP classes went to at least Berkeley or UCLA.</p>

<p>Slightly less than two dozen went higher - to Ivies/prestigious liberal arts. Our year had 3 to Brown, 3 to Penn, 3 to Cornell, 2 to Columbia, 1 to Princeton, 1 to WashU, 1 to MIT, 1 to Rice, at least 2 to top-ranked liberal arts (I’d looking at my facebook as I do this). Bear in mind these are estimates.</p>

<p>Every year we’d also have >3 to Stanford, >3 to Harvard (a lot of these were athletes). In the best year I think 8 went to Harvard.</p>

<p>For my high school, as a sophomore in North Carolina (Top Public?) I would have to guess:
45% State School (App St, NC State, UNC Charlotte/Wilmington/Chapel Hill/Pembroke)
15% Decent Private Schools
15% Out of State State Schools
10% Nearby Community College
10% No college/military/work
5% Top Privates/Ivies</p>
