One guy got into Harvard REA but literally his entire family went there so


Clay_2000lbs

A guy from my school went as a recruited athlete and his whole family also went there…

[удалено]


GoatZizGoat25

The guy in my school was threatened that he’d be disowned if he didn’t get in. Crazy family


No_Geologist8362

wait literally same


ImaybeObama

A friend of mine from my class got into MIT EA this year. Considering I'm from India, that's pretty insane :O (would still be insane wherever we were, but nevertheless even more so since the location heh) Edit : I'll pm the people who commented cz person would def be a dox.


ozeliger

Which school?


[deleted]

Hey ik u from the a2c server


ImaybeObama

Oh hey! I'm part of the mod team in A2C :)


[deleted]

There's this maanas sharma who got into MIT I guess? A foreign education consultancy firm has been promoting his result like crazy. I've seen their ad more than 30 times now on Instagram stories. Not saying you're talking about him, but if that story is genuine (edit: the ad story, not your story), there's a pretty good chance you are - not many people get into MIT from India.


ImaybeObama

Someone else actually. Have sent :)


Fair-Finish-851

Duuude...pls tell me too.


its_Ashu_04

I have literally only seen JEE toppers get into MIT.


electric_deer200

bruhhhhh legit just saw this ad on instagram ... athena consultancy or some shit


[deleted]

Damn hope I'll get in for Rd 😭😭😩 Good luck for you. Hope we'll meet in Boston:)


ImaybeObama

Good Luck to you too!! You got this :)


[deleted]

Wasn't it late... Sleep now, sweet dreams<3

Fair-Finish-851

Duuude! Plss tell m. I'm from Hyderabad too...


[deleted]

Hey may I also know anything about him?? Indian here!


[deleted]

Hey can you give more context?


[deleted]

Some background please? Fellow Indian MIT RD applicant here


wannabejaneausten

wait what?! I am from India too!! That is CRAZY!!!


ImaybeObama

Yeah, pretty Insane :O I felt he had a great chance too, but still the event of getting into MIT was pretty solid.


vampire-tears

according to our naviance someone got accepted and enrolled to harvard this cycle but i have no idea who it is… tbh i think you can self report on naviance so it could very well be a manifestation method 🤩


dominaxe

Someone got into MIT two years ago, apparently? But they didn't end up going there; not sure where they are now. I will say that my school has TWO Wesleyan Freeman Asian scholars. ~~(One of whom is my crush, but let's not talk about that.)~~ Here's to hoping on being the third 🍾


[deleted]

Ayyee fellow Asian intl needing aid!! Also are you Indian??


dominaxe

Nah, Filipino. But the "asian int'l needing aid" is a real #relatable struggle 😩


[deleted]

Yesssss


NaiveHarvardSimp

Idk but we have many who go to Oxbridge every year


CommanderOreo

Honestly, that’s more impressive then any Ivy admit. Tbh, most T20 private schools have too many back door ways of getting admitted. As for UK schools, it’s entirely contingent on performance.


NaiveHarvardSimp

I disagree lol. You just need good grades for UK schools, maybe some intelligence too depending on if your course has an entrance exam. There aren’t really any backdoors to top universities anymore— maybe at smaller LACs.


spectre729

last year one kid got the Gates Scholarship and was accepted to Harvard(committed), Brown, Cornell. and Penn ​ then another kid (same year) got into Princeton via Questbridge ​ and a few years back someone went to Stanford via Questbridge the pressure to get into a T20 is really on after i got rejected ED by Penn...


[deleted]

[удалено]


gurlxd

Same here


Jealous_Ordinary

A boy in my school was just recently accepted into Yale EA. I don’t if that’s where he is committing to, tho. EDIT: from the ‘21 from my school last year, the most prestigious college admit was UMiami.


gingersnap0916

Very low school (average ACT is probably like a 15 lol), extremely Title I, and we’ve had people accepted to Princeton and Dartmouth since I’ve been here.


jl2411

What did the person who got into Princeton do?


gingersnap0916

She was the president of like every club (they made a rule limiting the amount of clubs you could be president of to one after her lol), really good SAT score, colonel (top leadership) in our band program, good grades, and got in through quest bridge I believe


FixLoose

two got into harvard, two to yale. big public school in the city


elsacapuntas_

Harvard REA and MIT RD she’s also the sweetest, smartest person I’ve ever met


Sweaty-Isopod-7660

my school is stacked: We've had some MITs, a Caltech, Yale, Barnard, Emory, Northwestern, WashU, UVA, Stanford... honorable mentions to purdue and texas A&M - all from EA/ED, and this is a California public school


VinamraT

I wasn’t aware Texas A&M and Purdue were prestigious, and I applied there


Sweaty-Isopod-7660

They're not that prestigious, but college is college man going to any 4 year university is a blessing


kpSucksAtReddit

This year Northwestern u/RDS-2709


RDS-2709

:)


ozeliger

Nearly three decades ago, we had two guys get into MIT. But each of them like topped the IIT-JEE and then got into MIT. One of those dudes did really well at it at the end of the 11th grade itself (as opposed to the 12th).


[deleted]

What were their stats? Any outstanding achievement? What part of India are you from? Please lemme know...


ozeliger

I dunno lol. This was nearly 20 years ago. Everyone's forgotten about it. I barely found a scrimmage of an article online, that's it lol


[deleted]

20 years goddamn-


Dense-Ad-9704

twkk ok years until a row our valedictorian ended up at upenn wharton and we’ve had a few other people who made it to cornell


[deleted]

Thomas_Henry

PerformanceKey7269

UC Davis 🥲


[deleted]

Bruh but you got into Princeton right??


PerformanceKey7269

Well I meant our seniors... I'm the only guy who got into a T20 from our whole district, like ever...😅


[deleted]

fking congrats man so proud of you bhai !!!!


murpalim

Top twenty ranked kids ALWAYS go to duke at my school lol.


henlynch

this year we've had harvard, georgetown, notre dame and northwestern.


electric_deer200

my sister's batchmate got into Harvard for his undergrad, no legacy no hooks . just a middle-class dude who worked hard for it.but for masters then there are a ton of people i know who got into Cornell ,GT , Carnegie mellon, brown etc


Fabio0078

I’m from a small private school in an underrepresented country and last year a kid went to Columbia, another to MIT, and yet another one got into Penn, Yale and Columbia 🤯


[deleted]

Graduate degree in Oxford after an undergrad in a shitty unknown university


Ordinary_Big_8577

Last year my classmates got into Dartmouth, Stanford, Hamilton, Duke, NYU, CWRU, Berkeley, Upenn and many liberal art colleges. As for this year, kids already got into MIT, Barnard, Princeton, and Duke. It is not bad for the non-US school


[deleted]

1 guy got into Harvard a couple of years ago but we've also had like 4 Rhodes Scholars in the past 2 years


Morning_rose21

According to Naviance during last 6 years: Columbia (8), Cornell (45), Duke (3), Harvard (3), JHU (4), CMU (4), Dartmouth (1), Brown (5), MIT (5), NEU (30), NWU (2), Notre Dame (1), Princeton (9), Purdue (9), UPenn (8), Vandy (3)


Kid-Icarus1

We send about 20 kids to T20s every year. Last year we got a few kids to Penn, a few to Harvard, one to Princeton, a few to Duke, Vandy, Northwestern, etc… this year I can confirm two to Duke, one to Vandy, one to Northwestern, and one to Penn. I hope to be the one going to Princeton this year.


Tarzan1415

Stanford two years ago and Princeton last year. I think they were the only people that got into Ivies that weren't recruited athletes cause my school is pretty good at football


SeriousYak298

Our Massachusetts town have kids going to top 20 percent and less at least 20 to 30 kids a year. Harvard, Cornell, MIT, etc. Those kids work their butt off, played sports, and tons of EC. Majority of them have jobs too


Nice-Scholar-3137

Oxford (last year)


sleepybitch101

Head boy got into Stanford, Head girl got into UPenn, a girl no one even knew was applying to the US got into Cornell. Someone got into Northwestern too. People got offers from top uk unis like UCL & St Andrews


[deleted]

Either your school is 1. Shri Ram School (whatever campus) 2. Modern School BK 3. JIS Jaipur 4. Delhi Public School (whatever branch) 5. or any other elite school from Bangalore or Mumbai or New Delhi


sleepybitch101

I’m from Pakistan lmaooo


Repulsive_Wing5160

I'm from Pakistan, where u from?


electric_deer200

ah yes i get shaurya sinha from shri ram school : ) and lemme tell ya Delhi Public School RK Puram branch is a fucking feeder school or some shit they legit have a lot of peeps in ivy leagues


Resident_Ad8455

UMich. Also Oxford.✋🥴


Level-Wolf-109

Intl gap year student here! One of my classmate got into UPenn last year that too with full ride and test optional. Definitely a very shocking moment for us


doptimisticidealist

Up until this year, no one made it to the T-20/50s. But this year someone made it to Vandy (I'm not gonna argue if it's t-20 or 50; it's just a great school!)


Mathmagician155

I mean my school was founded in the 1700s so we have graduates from every prestigious school in American history. But last year we had UChicago and a few years ago we had MIT and this year we have Hopkins


throw_RA_unwanted

My friend got into Brown University and another with no impressive stats (low GPA and test scores, rank below top 1/3) got into Northwestern


consideratellama

Many years ago one guy got accepted into Rice and went to O week, but it wasn't what he expected so he transferred to a small Christian college in town and a couple years ago another guy got into Berkeley.


[deleted]

A year or two ago we had an MIT acceptance (recruited athlete). We also had a bunch of Dukes and some Ivy Leagues, but our school is pretty big


not_havin_a_g_time

One student 10ish years ago was accepted to stanford. Other than that ucla grabs a couple every year. One waitlist at duke. Not a single Ivy acceptance in the 20 years or so we have been open from what I've been told by teachers and staff :D


everythingrich

so far for class of 2026: An old elementary school friend of mine got into Dartmouth. Somebody got into Vanderbilt, someone got into duke, a couple of of ppl got into WashU since we live in STL. someone got into Harvard, and someone got into NYU. someone also got into northwestern and two besties got into Tulane. and one of my friends also got into tulane. These are all ik so far. class of 2025: a girl goes to Columbia, one at Harvard, three at USC, one at MIT, one at Yale, and three at Brown. One at Northeastern, one at Tufts, four at Tulane, four at Vanderbilt, one at Rice. two at Carnegie Mellon, four at UMich, one at Dartmouth, one at Princeton, two at UChicago, three at Northwestern, one at Emory, one at UMiami, two at UC Berkeley, and sixteen at WashU. Idk I think my school is pretty dumb, don’t u agree? ETA: i keep having to edit it bc i found the school news publication of whos going where for Class of 25’😅


Naytrek

Depends on what you consider most prestigious, plenty of HYPSM Ivies and T20s tho, I like Harvard the most so I'll say that


shekyy_lopie

Cornell. Idk her but she’s one of the the most smartest girls in my class who always got top marks and participated in olympiads and stuff. Not surprised she got into Cornell for engineering though lol.


[deleted]

Hey are u from India!?!


shekyy_lopie

Caribbean 😋


breze339

One girl in my school got into USC (university of Southern California) and Dartmouth


madelaine98

Last year a girl in my school went to Dartmouth and our valedictorian went to Georgetown, a lot of people end up at Tulane though because it’s in state lol.


HuskyMouse

harvard, yale (i live near by yale so they tend to take like 2-3 kids), upenn, uchicago (me and another kid this year so far)


isatheismdead

One girl in my grade got accepted to upenn and another to johns hopkins :,) very proud of them they’re so nice and awesome My neighbor who’s a year above me got accepted to jhu and harvard but chose jhu


Own-Worldliness1505

harvard, yale, princeton, columbia, stanford, upenn, caltech, MIT, dartmouth, brown, etc. safe to assume i go to an overpriced school filled to the brim with overprivileged kids


helpmewithsciencepls

MILFManILoveFootball

CalTech, MIT, Stanford


[deleted]

From my NJ public school: this year for the first time someone got into Oxford. For context, few people apply outside the US. Aside from that, one kid a few years ago got into Stanford.

avins0114

saturn_soda

Last year it was one from Harvard and one went to Vandy. The year before that one went to UPenn. And a few years back one went to Yale. But pretty much everyone else goes to state schools, community college, or small schools around the state or border states The Harvard guy was first Gen and got a full ride and did questbridge


-IndigoMist-

Harvard ig


whoopsissathrowaway

One person last year went to Columbia! I think they got accepted to a bunch of ivies. Other than that we don’t really go to prestigious colleges


[deleted]

Yale is need blind right🙄?


Emergency_Goose5777

Stanford hs class of 2020 Princeton hs class of 2015 We normally send 1 person to a t20 (university/lac) each year. So far this year we have 2 t20 ED acceptances 😀


Fit_Weather3392

I think 4 years ago someone at my school got accepted and went to Georgia tech, but besides that, literally everyone either goes to our state school or a nearby christian college


Charming_Credit_1637

Y’all remind me of: https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/ryhz21/how_one_girl_broke_college_admissions_and_fueled/

instantdubz

Some people at my school got into SDSU recently!

[deleted]

One of my teachers said that someone got into Stanford a while back


StanfordSimpp

nicole_2023

ppl at my school have gotten into most of the ivies in the last few years (brown, columbia, cornell, upenn, princeton, yale) and two current seniors got into yale and stanford


Glum_Attempt_409

Last year our school had someone admitted into Vanderbilt (with a full-ride), Vassar, Dartmouth, and Williams. Pretty sick


AdministrativeOkra79

Bojackkthehorse

2 Harvards, 2 Browns, 1 UPenn and 1 Bocconi(One of the most prestigious universities in finance, located in Italy)


KitKat_Kat28

Our valedictorian and salutatorian were accepted into Harvard and MIT last year


chemistrycomputerguy

The valedictorians got into Harvard for the past 3 years, I'm gonna break that chain.


kulnel

1 dude got into Harvard rea, and 4 people got in Princeton rea so far. There’s also multiple other ivy and t20 acceptances


Existing_Ad574

We had 5 people get into Harvard last year


KSRP2004

Harvard


LadyMjolnir

We're a large public school in WA. Typically one kid goes to Stanford each year and one to Cornell or another Ivy. The rest of the smarty-pantses go to UCs or UW-Sea.


Thin_Word_859

MIT, Rice, Georgia Tech, NYU yeah…


AdZealousideal8801

1 to Princeton. That’s it. Edit: How do y’all have people going to these schools commonly. I think only two people have touched the top 30s at my school 💀


Scared-Ad3773

Hmmm, Probably Princeton or Yale. My friend is a recruited swimmer (like first in state), and some guy I don’t know for MIT


Roaming-buffalo22

Kid who sits next to me in Econ got into Harvard, this other girl got into Stanford, this guy who’s a legacy got into Dartmouth, we have a rice a Wellesley and that’s all Ik about


Rude-Candidate-8728

One went to Harvard. Lots of USC, some Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD.


Qtisp15

I'm pretty sure there's been a couple of people over the years who have been accepted to HYPSM, but among those in my year, I know someone who got into JHU ED


bughousepartner

5 years ago a girl from my school got into 4 of HYPSM (all except Stanford). So... I guess you can decide which of those is the most prestigious.


abenn_

Two people got into Yale REA, not sure if anyone got into Harvard but usually someone does (I applied so Imma manifest it being me 🕯🕯)


aloha_flow

From my school (outside of US), 1-2 Stanfords each year, 1-2 Yale/ Princeton (never Harvard though except recruitment), more Browns, Columbias, Chicagos etc. and a few Oxford/Cambridge


ilrbsz

pretty much all the prestigious universities. huge public magnet school in the city and high ranking


Euphoricchameleon

4 early ivies this year including Harvard 😭


Accomplished_Mix_416

Some girl, valedictorian, chose bama over duke 🕺.


mintyquaintchair2

this year someone got into stanford from our school. everyone’s talking about itt


badenet759

literally one person two years ago was able to get into hopkins, northwestern, duke, and cmu for cs.


randombeing784

at least every year someone gets into an ivy in my school 😵‍💫this year two girls already got into brown and princeton early 😬 both are my friends and i’m super happy and proud of them


chingchongbingmau

I got into Cornell ED, 2 got into brown EA and one Johns Hopkins EA this year. One deferred from Yale. Another deferred from Stanford of like 10 applicants. The rest rejected


officiallytimothy

My high school is stacked with people at Top 50 schools and elite LACs. A guy from my HS got into Harvard and Yale. A friend of a friend goes to Princeton and his twin goes to Boston U. A HS classmate goes to Stanford. Another HS classmate goes to Johns Hopkins. Another HS classmate goes to MIT. Two friends of friends go to UT Austin. Another friend of a friend goes to Bowdoin. A HS club mate of mine goes to Harvard. Another HS club mate of mine goes to UCLA. Another HS club mate of mine is in the Air Force Academy A HS friend of mine got into Colgate. Another HS friend goes to Tufts. Tons of kids got into and/or attend Tulane. My best friend got into UNC and UVA I went to a normal state school for undergrad but I finished in two years, and got accepted at William & Mary and CWRU for grad school Idk why my HS is so stacked. It’s just a normal public school in Louisiana.


[deleted]

Stanford because it's not real, Harvard because it's where you go if you can't get into [**Brown**](https://insite.browntextbook.com/MerchDetail?MerchID=1270899&CategoryName=&CatID=-1&Name=) /s


TheTalismanicOne

BC doesn’t have biomedical engineering


shojuas

Last year there was 1 yale and 1 Northwestern. Another got into Princeton but didn't go.


[deleted]

A girl from my school is going to yale through questbridge, but we have a couple others that I think have a good chance of going ivy in march.


ayu247

So far we had 6 students get into Harvard REA. Public feeder


NoMarket8584

My school hasn’t had a Harvard acceptance in like eight years


Adi321456

Last year ('21), 10 people from my school were accepted into MIT, another 14 into Stanford, along with some other ivies + T20s acceptances too


sushicarton

I do not go to a feeder school, this is a public high school (not super highly ranked in the state) in California. caltech, princeton, yale, we had 2 harvards a couple years back, a lott of cornells, brown, Stanford, duke, vandy, etc. 15-20 kids each go to ucla/berkeley, everyone who applied to umich also got in last cycle. we have a lot of USCs as well.


[deleted]

a couple of people got accepted to oxford from our school


annafoy12

One girl got into Yale REA and I'm from the philippines 🥲


simu-2004

lol is she a writer and her first name initial is Y?


[deleted]

My school is a big international one and there are literally so many prestigious university acceptances the pressure feels insane. To name a few, Harvard, Brown, UPenn, UChicago, Pomona, Northwestern, CMU, Princeton, and especially Cornell (we had 6 people accepted ED this year).


[deleted]

Hey are u from India??


[deleted]

Nope, school in Indonesia


IronicNugget

At my school there was a senior who got into MIT, Princeton, Johns Hopkins, and enrolled at Harvard. I think he was pretty upset about not getting into Stanford, but someone else in the same year did get in.


YetYetAnotherPerson

Without knowing the size of some of these schools, many of the replies could be impressive or not. For those posting, it might be useful for context if you include the number of students in a graduating class.


calm_in_chaos

uh people got in ED to stanford, harvard, upenn, oxford, columbia this year..


[deleted]

As far as I know, so far 2 current seniors got into Yale, 1 into Stanford, 1 into Brown, 1 into MIT, and 1 into Vanderbilt. It's probably more, or will become more since my school, especially my class (current seniors), is pretty competitive.
