Well-known member
Irvine High School College decision list. We have heard so much of the infamous IUSD and see for yourself what schools these scholars are attending.

So far there has not been anything concrete that really indicate the real fact about the students other than the schools' published reputation and good teachers. Here is the living proof how the students are really doing rather than some lame API scores.

The first names have been deleted but replaced by M=male, F=female. Without the first name I feel the data lack depth, personality and impression. Ethnicity is extremely important in college population diversities. An ethnic first name shed light on the person history such as recent immigrant and likely to be bilingual. I did not delete the first names for Northwood yet hoping that you will post your thoughts whether the first names allow you draw better insights if you play a ocollege admission officer role.

Would you like to see Woodbridge first? RE prices in that district would plummet when you see it.  We have heard of these inflated top college acceptances some school published based on students self reporting results to justify home prices. The reality the actual number of students attending the top colleges is way less than the hypes and that is really bad news for FCBs who have been reading false advertising in China that hundreds of students from each Irvine school advance to Ivy League or similar colleges.

Beckman has an unusual year the admission to top colleges 1.5x UNI.
 
For those interested in waiting for the IUSD side of Orchard Hills you will be making a huge mistakes. I have tracked the last 5 years for IUSD and TUSD in Irvine. Beckman has already surpassed UNI and Northwood base on top college acceptances even though OCR and US news published higher rating for the 2 IUSD schools based on self reported statistics.
 
If you are looking to put your kid in the school that will get them into the best college, then Beckman wins. 
How did Villa Park, El Modena, Tustin High do?

Actually IHS, can you give a ranking of best high schools by admissions?...I would value your ranking more than OC register or Newsweek.
 
IHS, I think you should keep the first names posted.

You are correct, the first name adds a lot, and clarifies ethnicity for some with ethnically ambiguous surnames.

For example, under UC Berkeley:

F Seth

vs.

Sonali Seth

or UCSB:

F Dixit

vs.

Anjali Dixit

Thank you for posting this information.  It is really eye-opening regarding IUSD's failure at placing kids into HYPSM.
 
judging a student based on what college he goes to is really not fair. we all know that nowadays college admission becomes a game.

you either need to be a superman or you can pay a hefty price for someone to juice up your essay or make up some story for you.

college admission becomes the ultimate goal when in reality it's just the beginning of the next chapter of your life. when will this kind of craziness end.

Parenting obviously involves multiple aspects of the child's life, but from an academic standpoint, college admission is the final milestone. The rest becomes up to the kid (now technically an adult) and the parent's influence swiftly goes from direct to indirect.
 
I agree with you but many who are paying top dollars to buy in Irvine is all about the good public schools and better odds to get their kids into top colleges. Top colleges do love the cream of the crop from Irvine because parents pay full tuition. None is qualified to be poor needing financial assistance. Asian culture is about living, carrying, wearing, driving and attending a good brand. You and IHO could be buddies.

Ivy League and top colleges selected mostly non Asians but the Beckman asians who did get accepted into the top private school are the smartest kids I have ever met AND majoring in subjects that will send their parents and grand parents to an early grave. They are English, political science, fine art, music, theatre and anthropology. Top schools are not accepting asians into engineering, premed, molecular biology, computer science or hardcore science unless they are super human with 2400 SAT, class president, athlete and has a 4.7 GPA.. Colleges need to make money and poor applicants must be exceptional and news worthy in order to be accepted. Colleges do look at parents tax return preferably with a South Dakota zipcode.

I wonder if Beckman students who were accepted to top colleges are Asian?

The craziness will end when the role of Scholar no longer holds a unique place of honor and authority in Chinese culture as it has for at least two millennia.

English translation: Never.

Chinese herd mentality will never change. The belief system exists only in black and white. Scholar or soldier, wealthy or poor, safe or dangerous, Irvine or Nothing else.

I can tell you from just glancing at a few familiar names on that list of NWHS and Beckman that a couple are wrong. 

I'm not sure what the sources are but two of the students are totally at the opposite end of the spectrum  :p
