[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Walt Whitman. Harvard. Late 80s. [/quote] Hmm. Numbers from 30 years ago will be hard to come by. According to your recollection, how many Harvard students came from Whitman versus "all the other Big 3 combined"? A very quick look online indicated 7 to Harvard from Whitman in the mid-80s was a high water mark at the time, and it's certainly higher than what Whitman sees now. Just to be clear, I'm not saying Whitman's not a good school, or that other public schools don't have good college records. I'm just quite skeptical of your claim that Whitman sent more kids to Harvard than all the Big 3 combined. From what I've seen, the Big 3 schools are collectively sending about 10-15 students to Harvard every year, while Whitman seems to average 3-5 at best. [/quote]
