The Numbers Don't Lie: Where Our Students Get In

Let's talk results.

81% of our graduates landed at a school that's either a household name or the #1 destination for their specific major. We're talking the kind of admits that make other parents ask, "wait, how did they get in there?"

Here's the breakdown — and just how hard these doors actually are to open.

Nearly Half Went Somewhere Ultra-Elite

48.6% of our graduates — essentially one out of every two — got into an Ivy League school, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Duke, Caltech, UCLA, or Oxford. To put that in perspective: these are schools that reject the vast majority of applicants who apply, often turning away 90%+ of straight-A, high-test-score students. Harvard and Caltech admit roughly 3 out of every 100 applicants. Stanford and MIT aren't much easier, hovering around 4%. Even Berkeley and UCLA — the "easier" public options on this list — admit somewhere around 1 in 10.

Berkeley and Stanford led the way as the most common destinations in this group, with MIT, Caltech, Harvard, and UCLA close behind, rounded out by single admits to Brown, Columbia, Duke, Oxford, UPenn, and Cornell.

Nearly half our graduating classes. One tier. Some of the lowest admit rates on planet Earth.

Add the Major-Specific Powerhouses, and It's 4 Out of 5

Here's what a lot of "top school" rankings miss: sometimes the university isn't the flex — the program is. Getting into Carnegie Mellon's computer science school is arguably harder than getting into most Ivies (acceptance rates in the single digits, often lower than the university's overall rate). Same story at Georgia Tech and UIUC for CS, or NYU Stern and Michigan Ross for business — these programs quietly out-compete plenty of "prestige" schools when you actually look at how many students get turned away.

Fold those in, and the picture gets even more lopsided: UT Austin and CMU top this group, with Johns Hopkins, UMass Amherst, and UMD close behind, plus additional admits to Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, NYU Stern, Michigan, UIUC, and USC.

Combine both tiers, and 81.4% of our graduates landed at either an ultra-elite school or the best-in-class program for exactly what they wanted to study. CMU's CS school admits in the single digits. Michigan's Ross program direct-admits at rates rivaling Ivy League business schools. UIUC's computer science acceptance rate is a fraction of the university's overall rate. These aren't backup schools. They're targets that most applicants don't hit.

And the Rest? Still Nothing to Sneeze At

The remaining 18.6% of graduates rounded things out at strong, respected schools including Purdue, UC San Diego, and UChicago — every one of them a legitimate outcome.

And This Is Just Where They Chose to Go

One more thing worth knowing: this list only shows where students ultimately enrolled — not every school that accepted them. Anecdotally, many of these students weren't just getting into their one dream school; they were fielding offers from multiple top schools at once and picking a favorite from a stack of great options. The numbers above are already the headline. The full picture is even better.

The Bottom Line

Take a step back and look at the full picture: more than 4 out of 5 of our graduates ended up somewhere that's either nationally elite or the single best place in the country for their specific field. In an admissions landscape where even strong students are getting rejected from schools with 40%+ acceptance rates, that's not luck. That's a track record.
