[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]any ivy league, Stanford, MIT, Cal Tech, Duke, Chicago, Northwestern, Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore, Pomona.

Below that non-ivies could be Hopkins, Georgetown, UVA, Michigan, and Cal Berkley. State schools by definition are less prestigious.  [/quote]
You made a huge jump to get UVA and Gtown into the conversation. Bottom elite at best. What's the next tier after "Bottom Elite"?[/quote]
UVA and Georgetown are much more "elite" than Umich. Especially Georgetown. I honestly would consider Umich as a step below the bottom elite. Umich is not that hard to get into. I would add UNC and USC in the Umich category. [/quote]

It's common in my neighborhood for kids that get rejected at UVA to go U Mich.  It is hard for kids at large NoVa schools to get into UVA.  We had 22 U Michigan admits at our HS (out of 240 students).  We had 6 UVA.  We had 1 Georgetown.  [b]It's almost impossible to get into Georgetown at our NoVA public HS. [/b] There are 0-1 admitted each year out of a large class--and if there are more they are almost always legacy.[/quote]

its hard to get into Georgetown period, but it has nothing to do with the area or the public nature of your school.  if anything, this area does better because of legacy and faculty/admin parents.[/quote]

We have had 0-1 students get into Georgetown at our large public NoVA HS for the past few decades.  It's a very hard admit.[/quote]

I know we're all pretty self centered, but you realize this is true at hundreds of high schools across the country, right?[/quote]
