How accomplished was your high school class?

[Syringer]

So my class, which graduated in '02, was kind of crappy as far as academic achievments go. Sure there were some smart people, but the best school anyone got in was Berkeley.

The class before us had people go to MIT, Caltech, Stanford, Yale, and Harvard..as does this year's class save MIT..and three of them got perfect scores on their SAT's.

the highschool i went to had the lowest 1 or 2 average in the whole city, so ummm not very good

that was two years ago. we had a few ppl who did well (including myself) and we all went to a local university which is pretty good in canada (UBC)

 

[notfred]

I didn't bother to memorize all the schools that every graduating senior went to, but most of my frinds went to UC schools, or the local community college. One girl I knew went to MIT, one went to CU Boulder, a few to CSU schools.

 

[Chaotic42]

I graduated in 1998. Many went to Ole Miss (I did). Ole Miss is the "school to be in" according to many around there. I worked in the law library, which was huge. It's a good law and english school, but horrid for math/science.

I don't know that anyone got into Harvard/MIT/Cal Tech/etc. I think 2 got into the USAFA and 1 into the USNA.

My class ('03) sucks ass. The dude with the highest SAT score in my class, which was a 1530 (he's also my idiot neighbor/brother of someone who got a 1600), got into Stanford, Emory, Northwestern, and some other schools, but got denied to MIT. He sent 30 apps out to pretty much all the Ivy Leagues and all the really good schools. But other than him, we have a kicker from the football team going to the Naval Academy, maybe 1 person going to BU, someone who may go to Purdue, and that's it. I think only 10 people, out of the 340 in my class, actually bothered to fill out an application to a private/out of state school. Everyone else is doing community college or state schools (UF, FSU, UCF, USF).

And it's pretty bad when i'm tied for 2nd highest ACT score (31), which isn't even that high at all.

I had the highest score on the SAT in my HS class (1500). Denied from MIT. I guess I went to the best traditional school (NYU) along with 2 of my friends -- 3 total. One of my best friends went to the Air Force Academy tho, so I usually use that as the peak school.

--- All in all, not a good school at all.

 

[Deeko]

My school's valodictorian and saluditorion(which i can't spell) both got denied to Penn. One is at Pitt, the other is at Franklin and Marshall. A guy went to NYU....that's probably the most prestigious...we had alot of smart people, but not a whole lot of geniuses...

 

[AznMaverick]

for us, our smartest person went to columbia uni. the rest...we all were just stupid idiots...

 

[Kaieye]

I remember one nerd who was with me in electronics class who graduated with me together in 1972 who I saw at our 1992 20th year class reunion. He told me that he was retired already and I told him either you won the lottery or you inherited a lot of $$. He said neither- He sold his company to IBM...

 

[Alternex]

I believe only 20% of my class went to college...

 

[Spac3d]

My class was 74 people and a large chunk of my school went to ivy league schoools. I think at least two went to each ivy school with 5 going to Princeton and Yale. 10% of my grade went to Duke... 10% went to Pomona, but I was one of the dumb people and ended up at GAtecho).

Almost everyone went else went to a private university.

 

[Zugzwang152]

my high school, Iolani School in Honolulu, HI is considered 1 of the top 2 at least, if not the best college prep high school in the state. Of my graduating class (2001), 100% of the 246 members were accepted and planned to attend an institution of higher learning, of which only 1-2 people did not attend a full 4 year college. The average GPA in the class hovered just above 3.5(i was in the 46th precentile with a GPA of 3.46), and the top 10% of the class had GPA's of 4.26 or higher. We had 1 girl accepted to the US Air Force Academy, and 2 guys accepted to the US Naval Academy. 1 member of our class was accepted to the innaugural freshman class at the Olin College of Engineering, which offers free tuition and room and board to all those that can get in worth $148,000 over 4 years (according to their website). He and 2 other girls were accepted to Harvard, of which the 2 girls went. 3 or 4 people attended Stanford, and there were at least 3 that went off to MIT. 18 people from my graduating class decided to attend the University of Washington in Seattle. In it's entire history, the school has a college-bound rate of 99%.

 

[Anubis]

out of the ~140 kids in my graduating clasas about 30 went to college. and about 20 of them are still in college. most went to a state school. I can count 4 the didnt

 

[T2T III]

I graduated in '82. My class would have received a "2" out of a "10" rating. I would estimate that 50% have college degress (myself included.) Most of the hot cheerleaders are now fat (chuckle, chuckle) and that's about all.

 

[Darien]

~840 people in my graduating class.



The top of the classes...all went to UCs and such. One person got accepted to Cal Tech and instead chose to go to UCLA (wtf?!?!?!?). Someone got into Princeton but decided to go to Stanford.



I'd say the majority are now in a community college.

 

[Gyrene]

I wasn't very involved with sports or anything, though I was the track manager. But I had a 3.9 cumulative GPA and a 34 ACT score on my second try. Never took the SAT though. Bunch of people in my class have 4.0 GPA's and perfect SAT/ACT scores. I actually ranked 45th (out of 463).

 

[Fausto]

My class actually did pretty well. 15 National Merit scholars (including moi ), most of whom went to the usual overachiever schools like Harvard, etc.

Of course on the other end of the food chain were the guys who failed metal shop......this is rural MI remember.

 

[LinuxIdiot]

My graduating class, all work at the various McDonald's around town so you figure out how accomplished we were

 

[CraigRT]

I have no idea, and I don't really care...

 

[Armitage]

I went to a fairly small H.S., about 220 in my class, of which about 190 graduated
I think roughly 60 or 70 of our class started college, mostly at state university, or community college. But I hated highschool, so I haven't kept up.

There was one girl who graduated early that went to some ivy league school (harvard or stanford I think). But I think that's about it.

 

[XZeroII]

I was in a very smart class. My GPA was 3.8 (cumulative) and I graduated about 17% in the class. This was the class of 2000 and we had about 300 people who graduated.

 

[Spamela]

one graduate is a well-known agent for pro athletes.
another is (was?) a professor at princeton.

most got married soon after high school, did NOT complete college, & went to work.

 

[hdeck]

my class (02) had a few good ones. 1 went to Harvard, 3+ went to rice. but being in texas, the majority of us (the *smart* people) went to UT to have a good time and enjoy college.

 

[minendo]

We had two students get perfect on the SATs and 10 or so score above 1500. Our valedictorian went to UC Berkeley, then transferred to MIT. Salidatorian went to Duke on a volleyball scholarship. Several students went on to Notre Damn, Northwestern, Purdue, or Indiana. I believe 13 people from graduating class originally came to Purdue along with myself. After 1 year 3 had been kicked out (smoking weed in the dorm) and after two years the number was down to 6 remaining or so.

 

[FoBoT]

i don't know, but it will be interesting to see them next year at the 20 year reunion

it was a rural high school, so i don't expect much

i know one guy became a lawyer , other than that i don't have much idea where everybody went
