<p>*I only made a special note for Black Males because I find it rather noteworthy how 3 of the 4 Black Males from my class ended up at Elite, Top 20 Universities.</p>

<p>Where kids at my school usually end up at…

  • UT (25-30 kids)
  • Texas A&M (20-25 kids)
  • OSU, OU, Texas Tech, Local CC (15-20 kids)
  • TCU, SMU, Baylor (10-15 kids)</p>

<p>Bigredfan … because it sets the stage. … in such an area the kids are given and/or handed many opportunities … including SAT prep and beyond … basically a private like public.</p>

<p>There are many discussion on CC about the value of local public vs boarding etc … this plays into that discussion. … at the end of the day …</p>

<p>Public High School in Charlottesville, VA (UVA)
Fairly Middle Class
Class of 300</p>

<p>Harvard - 2
Berkeley - 1
Cornell - 2
Williams - 1
Georgetown - 4
UVA - 15
College of William & Mary - 5
American - 3</p>

<p>Rest at JMU, CNU, Community College (50%)</p>

<p>Off the top of my head (class of 100):</p>

<p>2 UPenn (Val and Sal)
1 Harvard
1 Dartmouth (athlete)
1 Brown
1 Georgia Tech (that I know of)
Ridiculous amount to UF and UF Honors
Less, but still a lot to UCF and FSU</p>

<p>A lot of schools im leaving out (especially LACs, which our school gets a lot of people into). A lot of kids get accepted to Tufts and other high ranking schools but choose UF for a variety of reasons (close to home, price, rooting for the gators, etc.)</p>

<p>RUTGERS arrgh!</p>

<p>I would hardly put Skidmore, Fordham, Cooper Union, Dickinson, Syracuse, Mount Holyoke, Rochester, Bard, and Muhlenberg in “the rest.”</p>

<p>Also, why should we care where your high school class went to school?</p>

<p>And crs1909, why do you find it notable that three black men got into elite schools? We do occasionally come from middle-class families and go to elite private universities, contrary to popular belief.</p>

<p>Alright Public School in CNY:</p>

<p>Size: 260</p>

<p>Cornell-2
SUNY Binghamton - 1
USC - 1
GWU - 1
Syracuse U - 5-7</p>

<p>The rest of the class are going to schools i’ve never heard of; the majority are going to low-ranked state schools and community college.</p>

<p>Juillet, he was just mentioning some demographics. Race aside, one WAS a legacy and one WAS an athletic recruit. Standards are a little lower for those catagories.</p>

<p>i believe UChicago is an ivy lol</p>

<p>also i don’t get the point of this</p>

<p>^ I can’t tell if you’re serious, but UChicago definitely isn’t an Ivy.</p>

<p>this is an interesting thread</p>

<p>out of 362 </p>

<p>1 swarthmore(my sister)

UPenn-1
Princeton-1
Stanford-2
MIT-1
UChicago-1
Cornell-1
Tufts-2
UNotreDame-1
JHU-1
Amherst-1
Williams-1
Middlebury-3
Haverford-2</p>

<p>If I may add, this is not to say that only these colleges are important. People here need to relax and not waste their high school experience.</p>

<p>Where are you all getting your info? </p>

<p>Is it just a matter of compiling what you’ve heard? </p>

<p>Or, does the school keep and share an official list? And, if so, I think it’s great. But, in this day and age, I’m surprised people don’t have a hissy fit over privacy issues.</p>

<p>Wow. I feel dumb. This is the class of 2008’s list (for the top ten):
University of Michigan: 2
Michigan State: 5
Brigham Young University: 2
Muskegon Community College: 1
Needless to say, instate in MI. But this is the top of our class, the cream of the crop. Class size of ~300. That’s sad. (What’s even sadder is that I’m not even in the top three of my class, but they’ll be going to the same schools. We’re all broke in our school district. lol)</p>

<p>UChicago is more of a “Nerdy Nine” than an “Ivy”.</p>

<p>Thats the Athletic conferrence UChicago is in… UAA or “Nerdy Nine”.</p>

<p>To the person wondering where the info comes from: I know at my school they publish it in the June issue of the school newspaper, under “Senior Destinations”.</p>

<p>Our local high school started putting the students’ names and college destination on the school website in late 2006.</p>

<p>Wow, you guys go to some really small schools. There are a little bit more than 1000 kids in my class and around 4000 total in my school.</p>

<p>yea small schools 10 char</p>
