[quote=Anonymous][quote]Do the kids around here not apply to the ivy leagues as much? I am genuinely curious. Students from my high school class all applied to most all ivy league schools so we had a strong mix of acceptances to Penn, Browne and Cornell. HYP is a stretch for most students but the lesser ivy league schools were not all that hard to get into. I went to a small high school and we still had 20 kids go to ivy league schools. If you added the schools like Amherst, Wellesley and similar, it was more like the top 50.[/quote] Have you considered that it has gotten more competitive in the last 20 or so years to get into top colleges and universities because the applicant pool is larger and more national and, increasingly, international? People in this area definitely apply to top schools, but Harvard only takes 5% of its applicants. Also the class sizes at private schools are small.[/quote]
