Apparently, you do.

Looking at Oakton's decision only 70 of 600+ have posted. Cornell, Penn, Cal and Vanderbilt. None URM nor athletes

At our high school, the sports recruits to top schools keep that point out of their conversations!

An incredibly talented pool of students are heading to other colleges.

The bolded is actually not true. Several students headed to Ivies who are neither URM nor sports recruits.

It is largely true, actually, over the recent years.

Largely true - but not completely.

THIS. No it admits to it anymore!

About 6 to Yale but as PP has pointed out, mostly athletes. Several to UVA and WM.

Wide range of schools and the kids I know did a good job of looking for what suited their goals and personalities rather than status.

One that got into several 5% schools. Statistically improbable so I can’t help but be curious.

It's largely true that students from every group aren't headed to the Ivies, and that talented kids go to a variety of colleges. That's not unique to white kids, rich kids, URM kids, Langley kids or any other group.

I don’t believe for a second Langley has six seniors going to Yale.

In addition to recruited athletes, it would be interesting to note the number of legacy admits.

Yep, no way in hell that's true.

I’m a Langley parent and I don’t believe that either. I know of one going to Yale and two going to UPenn, as well as the others listed. Of course, there could be more I don’t know about.

+1. Of course it’s true. (Also a past Langley parent)
