College admissions from Potomac v Holton v Madeira?

[Anonymous]

Any insights into how the college admissions process works at these schools?

Would they affect the outcome significantly?

Athletics would make a bigger difference.

It varies year yo year but I do keep an eye on Potomac vs Holton. Potomac is markedly stronger, controlling for female vs female

This is my opinion as well

Thanks. DD is actually leaning towards Madeira for a few reasons. I am trying to get behind it but I’m worried about college admissions.

The nice thing about Madeira is that it starts at ninth grade. Otherwise the other schools are better.

Wrong! Holton has much better results. Too many Potomac grads go to UVA -- they could have saved $$ + gone to any public h.s.

I think the college counseling at Madeira has been one of its weakest areas. I could be wrong but I remember reading a few years back about the main college counselor being too out of touch and there were some bad experiences talked about online.

The ‘21 college list for Madeira was pretty impressive. Is it posted on their website?

Do you have any clue how competitive UVA is for northern Virginia applicants?

I know about UVA, but it is not aspirational for parents paying huge bucks for private.

Going out on a limb here: you've never taking a course in statistics.

Which one is Potomac? And does anyone have similar numbers for Madeira?
