[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I school like TC needs all the bragging it can get so I find it highly unlikely if they had all these great acceptances that they would not advertise them quite widely and loudly.  [/quote]

Here's what they said this year:

Out of the currently enrolled 705 seniors, 651 will graduate on Saturday. The remaining students will attend summer school. Fifty-three percent of the graduating class will attend four-year colleges, 40 percent will attend two-year colleges or technical schools and 7 percent will join the military or work.

Our students will be attending schools such as Dartmouth College (to which a student received a full scholarship), Yale University (one of two students attending received a full scholarship), Stanford University, University of Chicago, Oberlin College & Conservatory, Tulane University, Vassar College, University of Alabama, Arizona State University, Colorado State University, Florida A&M University and Miami University. Almost all Virginia schools are represented, as well as all of the armed forces.
 
The class includes two National Merit Finalists, four National Achievement Scholarship Program Semi-Finalists and one National Achievement Scholarship Recipient.[/quote]

So maybe 3 kids got accepted to Ivy leagues schools. Hardly the scores of students that PP are proclaiming.

Well, if over a dozen are attending Ivies (Ivies, not some equivalent), that would suggest that more than "maybe 3" were admitted.  [/quote]

Right. So out of 750 seniors, my guess is that at least a few dozen were accepted to the ives, while much fewer chose to attend. [/quote]
