New Trier in the Chicago area. I count 28 Ivies, 18 Northwestern, 7 to UChicago, 1 to Duke, 3 to Vandy, 29 to U of Michigan, 3 to MIT, 1 to Williams, 3 to Amherst, 2 to Middlebury, 5 to Georgetown, and 4 to Notre Dame.

This is a class of about 600. [/quote]

Ok, I have too much time on my hands.  This page lists the kids names.  I googled them.  The [b]Ivys are 95% Athletic recruits. [/b]

Cornell rowing
cornell cross country
princeton volleyball
princeton rowing
cornell rowing
cornell swimming
MIT swimming
yale rowing
MIT rowing
dartmouth soccer
cornell rowing
penn rowing
cornell rowing
harvard swimming

These are just the first Ivy kids I across on the list (I stopped after awhile).  ALL ARE STATE OR REGIONAL level athletic recruits.

Oh and the only non-athletic recruits I came across were:
-A Kennedy family member to Harvard
-2 nationally successful science kids (national science olympiad types--doing graduate level research at Northwestern in high school)---one to Harvard, one to Yale.

Dayum. I wonder if someone can run a similar review on Whitman's Ivy bound students. I don't doubt that they would be very bright and capable kids, but wow, 95% are recruited athletes? [/quote]
