It seems as though Holy Cross and Holy Child are not worth spending $$$ on.

This is 100% incorrect. As far as Holy Cross (AHC), this school is filled with very bright and well rounded girls whom are attending college on scholarship for the most part. Unfortunately, a lot of families at AHC are not willing/capable of financing an IVY education so their DD will be attending the college with the most scholarship money offered. These young women have been/could be accepted at the "top tier" colleges but the reality is that the price tags are not affordable.

Most posters here deny they chose private for college admissions purposes.. yet look at this thread. Look at the thread on college forums about gds.

Funny enough I know several fabulous girls that go to these schools. Not everyone in the world is looking for an Ivy admit. From my vantage point, the girls are going to great schools. There is no need to be so rude especially if you have no idea what you are talking about.

Funny enough their parents should’ve enrolled them in their local public schools

I don’t think they post a public one. They and STA don’t post public accounts.

Also Prep starts in 9th btw.

There is no such thing as unhooked at any school. Look at any kid who’s gotten into an Ivy in the last few years from any single school and you will see if you look hard enough there was some kind of a connection even if it’s not an official “hook.”

What an incredibly cruel and judgmental thing to say. Do you know that kids from schools read these boards? No matter what schools my children attend, I hope they learn one of life's most basic rules - if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. Success is about so much more than the degree that hangs on your wall.

No one is sleeping on Potomac 2024. Their results are what you would expect from Potomac. A sprinkling of Ivies, and a lot of SLACs (Colgate is very popular).

More than a sprinkling of Ivies. Multiple.

My kids go elsewhere but a lot of these schools are having great results. It does not bother me to acknowledge it.

Does Potomac have more Ivies posted than GDS, Sidwell, Maret, etc? Plus, the school is located in the hinterlands of VA (not even Potomac, MD). Again, no one is sleeping on Potomac. It’s just that most people on DCUM don’t care about Potomac. It’s a fine school, but nothing magical is happening out there.

I don't sit here and count all of the Ivies at schools. That would be weird. I only looked at Potomacs to see what the pp was referencing.

Actually looking at it, results do look just as strong as GDS, sidwell, and maret. My kids are at GDS, but that’s an impressive showing and they don’t have to suffer through hanging around w folks who think that McLean is the hinterlands.

Well done Potomac!

Yes, Potomac is doing well! They’re not doing as well as GDS or Sidwell (which isn’t surprising), but still quite impressive. They’re also doing much better than Maret (only 4 Ivies so far). What’s going on, Maret?

Maybe most frogs who attend ivies and T20s are sports recruits. Did they change their college counselors?
