[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The top 5% - 10% of the high school graduating class? I don't have the national numbers but you must know that this exceeds the number of freshman slots at Ivies, Stanford, MIT. [/quote] Yes, this. And this isn't news--30 years ago there were the enough slots at the Ivies, Stanford, MIT, to hold the top 5-10 percent. Thirty years ago, at my small high school, the top student (representing the top 1.5% of the class) went to Harvard. The rest of the top 10% went to Villanova, UVA, BC, Rochester, UVM, [b]Art Institute of Chicago[/b], etc.[/quote] I was in the top 25% of my class and went to SAIC. They place a much higher priority on artistic ability/portfolio than test scores and GPAs.[/quote] Not sure what your point is? I'm saying where the top students in my high school went--only one to a top 10 school. My classmate who went to SAIC had high scores and GPA, and also was a terrific artist.[/quote]
