By Thedad (Thedad) on Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 05:49 pm: Edit

UCLA, UCB, and Santa Monica CC.

The college counselors aren't very good at expanding students' horizons...they know what's convenient and simple. If students are looking back East or even Cal Poly SLO, I think their eyes glaze over.

A girl [student] on Site Governance is going to George Washington. Mostly, if students have ideas about other schools it's because either they or their parents have done some research.

The students in the Music program tend to be high achievers and eclectic in their collegiate tastes. I know of students getting into Brown, Yale, Columbia, MIT, etc. Haven't heard of any getting into Harvard or Princeton but then I don't know who or how many apply.

Um. There are 4 specifically:

Local community college

Rutgers
The College of New Jersey

About 6 every year go to an Ivy or another top college.

By Icarus (Icarus) on Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 08:27 pm: Edit

USC and USD are huge at my high school - a large percentage of the senior class gets into and/or enrolls at those schools. I think its mainly because many of them have legacy, and it certainly helps that my high school is right in the middle of one of the most affluent parts of the state, if not the nation.

By Troy (Troy) on Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 09:13 pm: Edit

My old HS...

Main feeder schools: UC's especially the big three: UCB, UCLA, UCSD in that order

Respectable representation: USC, Cal State schools

Ivy League: Harvard (1-4 every year), Yale (1/year), Penn (1-2/year), Cornell (2/year)

Other schools: Stanford (1 kid every 2 to 3 years), MIT (ditto to stanford), Cal Tech (2-6 every year)

For every 10 kids that get into a top school, about 2 or 3 of them are legacies (mostly Cal Tech kids), 1 is an athlete, 1 or 2 are URMs (but very accomplished), and the rest are Asian/White.

By Carolyn (Carolyn) on Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 09:35 pm: Edit

My daugher's school is a private catholic school in Calif. Top school choices each year seem to be:
UCSB, UCDavis, UCLA (and usually several go to UCSD as well), Cal Poly SLO
The military academies (Naval, Air Force, Calif. Maritime)
USC
Santa Clara U.
Loyola Marymount U.
Seattle University

In most classes, 2-3 kids go to Stanford and several go to Cornell, Harvard or Yale.

Smaller LACs are also popular choices especially
places like Skidmore, Union, Grinnell, Willamette, Whitman.

The biggest contingent each year, however, seems to end up at San Diego State University.

By Cardinal (Cardinal) on Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 09:46 pm: Edit

I'm from Gunn HS, a very good public school in Palo Alto. I guess some of the kids have connections to Stanford (parents work there, etc.), but a good number get in based on their own merits.

By Jimjunior (Jimjunior) on Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 02:33 am: Edit

My school is a respectable one where the kids are smart and dont go to the best colleges they can go to. We have several NM finalists every year, but they go to Gonzaga and Seattlu University.
Most Popular:
University of Washington
Gonzaga
Western Washington U.
Seattle U
Santa Clara

we usually have a stanford in every class and maybe a navy or west point, but rarely ivies (even though there are many ivy caliber students).

By Anotherdad (Anotherdad) on Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 01:17 pm: Edit

Although most of the kids at my DD's school go to in-state public colleges for financial reasons and because there are some pretty good schools in Va, my impression is that most would like to go away for school (either to Ivies, LACs, big-city schools, or big public schools in other states) in order to make a clean break with the high school life and assert their growing independence. I am really surprised about the reports in this thread about the localized focus of school choices (the way it was when I was a kid).

UGA, Georgia Tech, this year we have one going to northwestern, one to Upenn, one in at rice, a few at emory, one at duke, a couple at chapel hill, a few at other unc's, alot at auburn, alot at university of alabama.

I don't have exact numbers, but these are the schools we tend to feed into:

Virginia Tech
University of Virginia
George Mason University
James Madison University
The College of William and Mary
Radford University

As you can see, all Virginia. But personally as a West Coast native, I'm setting my sights elsewhere.

The most popular colleges are:
-The two community colleges
-Syracuse University
-SUNY- Albany
-SUNY- Buffalo
-SUNY- Binghamton
-Some other SUNY's
-Of, the ivies, Cornell is always the most popular one, but usually we get a wide variety of ivies

So most kids stay in state

By Nyguy (Nyguy) on Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 06:05 pm: Edit

most of the kids end up at party schools but aside from that we send around 5 to ivies, 5 to top liberal arts schools, and the rest dont really matter

By Ziplocky (Ziplocky) on Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 08:51 pm: Edit

Since we're IB in florida, everyone gets free rides to UF. So I'd have to say

UF
FSU
USF
Miami
Emory
Duke
Smartest= Ivies, Stanford, etc.

Basically at least 50% of IB ppl stay in state because of florida Bright Futures scholarships giving full rides to Florida.

Well, I don't have the exact numbers for the class of 2003, so I'll report the class of 2002:

Out of about 140 graduating seniors, the top six choices, with the number of maticulants, were,

19 UCI
17 Cal State Long Beach
14 Berkeley
13 UCSD
11 UCLA

Also, we had others go to Cal Poly Pomona, Cal Poly SLO, Stanford, MIT, Yale, Penn, USC, and Boston U.

This year, just by talking to seniors, we've got a fair number going to the usual suspects (CSULB, UCLA, UCSD, Berkeley, UCI, Cal Poly SLO) as well as some privates (CMU, Pomona, USC, Stanford, et. al.)

By Midnightdanzer (Midnightdanzer) on Friday, May 23, 2003 - 02:26 am: Edit

I go to an all-girls private school in So-Cal...so it's major feeder to places like USC and Berkeley

The schools most get accepted/end up going to:

USC
UC Berkeley
UC San Diego
UC Irvine
Georgetown
Cornell
Santa Clara University
University of Arizona

We only have 65 seniors, and all are going to college except one. She's going to London or something and do this one year art travel thing i don't know.

Other acceptances included places from Harvard to Stanford to Cal-Tech to Princeton to NYU to Pomona to Notre Dame to Claremont Mckenna to Tulane to University of Edinborough, Scotland.

Just a comment in response to most people posting the numbers of students that go to HYP, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Columbia or University of Pennsylvania: my school is lucky to send 1 student to one of these schools a year. No one has been to Harvard or Yale or Princeton from my school, and no one has even been to Stanford since the mid-'70's.

The local community colleges consider us a feeder.

By May0503 (May0503) on Monday, May 26, 2003 - 12:03 am: Edit

considering that less than half of the graduates go to college, most go to community. others: BU, West Point, Embry Riddle, state schools (MD), small PA liberal arts colleges.

By Girlinbraids (Girlinbraids) on Monday, May 26, 2003 - 04:47 pm: Edit

Do your schools give out the # of students every year who go to top colleges or something? My school doesn't do that so I can't give exact numbers, but most people go to UC Berkeley and other UC's. There are every year who go to Reed, Occidental, and other nearby private schools. I guess a few get accepted to Stanford but I don't really know and one guy is going to Amherst next year.
Our counselors really emphasize going to UC's or community college for 2 years and then transfering. I don't think they're all that much help for people who want to go to the east coast.

Wow. You guys must go to some excellent schools. From a pretty good public school in northern California:

1- Princeton (for football)
2- Stanford (one legacy, one for dance)
2- UC Berkeley
1- Middlebury
1- NYU
4- UCLA
4- UCSD
1- USC
4- Santa Clara University (one for soccer)
2- Pitzer
1- Dominican
1- Westmont


Lots to UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, CSU Long Beach, and University of Nevada- Reno. Most kids just go to a community college though. In the past four for five years we've had one to Columbia for football, one to Brown, one to Bates, one to Haverford, and one to U Penn. A few to Stanford each year, almost all legacies.

I'll start....New Trier, University High School (of University of Illinois- Urbana/Champaign), Deerfield High School, maybe Northside College Prep, Whitney Young Magnet, and Jones College Prep. I attended a college prep, and Harvard, Yale and all the other elite schools visit every year. This is uncommon for public schools in the area. I heard this year that there were many acceptances from Harvard and Yale.

After Ocean County College, i think this is the top five.

1. TCNJ
2. Rutgers
3. Univ. of Delaware
4. Monmouth
5. Penn State

1 student going to Columbia, 5-8 to VA Tech/Stevens, 6-10 to James Madison University, 11 to either Coastal Carolina, UNC, or East Coastal (?) Carolina. Let's just say various Carolina schools {sg}. I'm the first person to go to NYU in 4 years.... probably 'cause the school is so darn expensive, as lots of people have been accepted to it in the past, but have been forced to attend cheaper places. Class of 160.

A public, preppish school in NY.

Most popular colleges (matriculation rates from a class of approx. 165 seniors)--

Cornell 12

UPenn 7
Yale 7
Boston Univ. 6
Carnegie Mellon 6
Columbia 6
Amherst 5
Wesleyan 5
MIT 4
Princeton 4
Brandeis 3
Davidson 3
Groucher 3
Stanford 3

That's already about 60% of seniors.

All other colleges have matriculation rates of 1 or 2 (or zero). All seniors go to college every year.

A good amount go to the community college.
A small amount go to local private colleges and universities, like SLU or Greenville.
Some go to SIUC because they were on ESPN.
The rest go to state universities in the midwest.

Then there's about half that jump right into the work force. My school is known for its vocational training.

I just want to say for all of thos who have 80% of their class going to Ivy league schools... if they are really going there, great. But I highly doubt it beacuse with the people who posted just here, that would fill almost the entire freshmen class and more!! ( That's a little stretch of course)I don't know any school that has those numbers, I guess us east coast schools must be stupid!

many people who have discovered this message board are pretty smart anyway and i can believe their college matriculation lists. one of the main reasons i applied to the school i will attend next year is because of the college matriculation. when i saw 67 went to harvard in 5 years, i definitely knew i wanted to go there. That's aside from matriculation at yale, brown, columbia, stanford, princeton, and others.

hey, you forgot about the 10-20 that go to combined programs. namely combined med programs. especially sophie davis, of which students have strained relationships with regular cuny students.

or did you include those in the stats already? in that case... sorry, and never mind.
