This! Southern schools give merit aid - other southern schools are willing to give money to good students. Yes Of course if you can afford it I personally think the more elite schools are in the northeast

Exactly. OP, how difficult is it to wrap your head around the fact that many families either cannot afford and/or stomach $350k over four years? My spouse & I both went to private schools—one top 10 & one regional LAC. We cannot fathom spending such a large chunk of our income on NE schools when high-quality education is available for a fraction of the price.
If the need-met schools want to create a donut hole environment, let them.

That's just Bethesda. Not the entire DMV.

You can see the trend in DMV area.
You think it would be significantly different for other areas?

Sources suggest that Northwest colleges are actually most popular.

Well, looking at the Bethesda data, after nearby mid-atlantic (MD/PA/DC/VA), the Northeast is still the most popular by far. Then it's sort of a smattering of South, Midwest, West.

It's entertaining that someone is trying to pass off Bethesda as the entirety of the DMV. Nice try, but no.

What makes you think that it would be any different for other DMV cities/counties?

Why do you think Bethesda is special?

Not just Bethesda. E.g., Einstein and Blair are diverse Silver Spring and surrounds-fed schools.

This is the statement to which multiple people have asked for citations:

"Northeastern and NYU were the most applied private schools from DMV area last year."

So far, the only link is to schools in Bethesda, which doesn't represent the DMV as a whole. That's the point - it's *not* special. It's just one small part of the DMV. Unless you can prove that the bolded statement is true by providing comprehensive citations, then you just look silly.

DP here. Your posts are certainly passionate in your hate. Just look it up - it is not that difficult.

Op here. Thank you for the link. We live in McLean and zoned for Langley. UVA is so popular around here.

Based on the Bethesda data, my educated guess tells me it's actually the opposite. Northeast colleges seem to be the most popular.
