The truth of the matter is that most MCPS students can't afford to attend top colleges, period. That's why many that might have been admitted to top schools ended up attending a school that offered generous merit instead. That's the reality of the haves and have nots.

Yeah, Bethesda and Potomac families who aren't paying private school tuition are totally struggling financially.

You do realize that Montgomery County covers a lot more than Bethesda and Potomac, right?

You do realize that, in this thread, only the Whitman and Churchill college admissions are being touted, right?

IOW, no, anything outside of ChCh/Bethesda/Potomac is outside the bubble.

You can't try to make an apples-to-apples comparison between college admissions between Whitman/Churchill and DC private schools, then whine about how families who live elsewhere in Montgomery County can't afford college tuition.

What is it about Potomac School parents that get them so worked up on these threads? Decades of playing second fiddle to the top DC and Maryland private schools has really messed with their heads.

I'm not affiliated with Potomac (my kids go to school in DC) but don't see their parents getting "worked up" in this thread, just you trying to stir shit up.

GDS just added Dartmouth (multiple), BROWN!!!!, and UVA to the already jaw dropping list.
#GDSWins

Don't ignore NYU, I know two more that are not listed there, so that makes 3 early admissions! Go GDS!

PP here. I live in the Churchill cluster, but we send our kids to private. Some of my public school friends can well afford private universities and have sent, are sending their kids to top universities at full pay. But I also have friends whose earnings/financial situation who live in more modest homes here in Potomac and do not have the savings/income to pay $75K a year tuition. These families are opting for Maryland state schools for the most part. One friend's son sent her son to UMCP and he just graduated with an engineering degree and now working for a NASA contractor for $100K a year. Provided you have a smart motivated kid, they will do just fine -- private or public education!!

If families from 20854, 20816, and 20817 (three of the highest-income zip codes in MD and the entire DC area) are supposedly struggling with college tuition, what does that say for literally every other part of town? Y'all are so entitled and out of touch.
