[quote=Anonymous]I'm from CA and college placement from APS seems very similar to what I see from the HS's my nephews attend. Highly affluent, competitive area. The largest share of students go to community colleges (35%), aiming for guaranteed transfer to UCs. About 20% manage to get into UCs/Cal States, with the highest numbers going to Berkeley and Cal Poly. Slightly fewer than that go to OOS publics. Only a handful go to Ivys/Stanford. The biggest change I see from when I went to a very affluent, competitive HS there 20 yrs ago is that a lot more now go to OOS publics because it's gotten so difficult to get into the UCs. [/quote]
