[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My public HS class in the early 80s (250 in graduating class, Long Island): 2 to Brown, 1 to Harvard, 1 to Columbia, 1 or 2 to Cornell, 4 to RPI (the most to any one school, with the exception of community college). I was accepted to Syracuse College of Engineering with an 86 average an an 1110 SAT score (I didn't attend there) Lately from that same HS, maybe one or two Ivy Leaguers per class, most often none. The graduating class size is now over 350.[/quote] Long island and the NY metro suburbs still sends a large number of students to top colleges from its strong publics.. But these districts compete against each other. There is a public HS arms race on LI which the accompanying very high taxes and very good schools. I imagine these ivies and their level still accept many students ts from NY metro schools but the actual schools may change over time. All the NY metor public kids compete against one another for these spots. [/quote]
