Mic drop.

This does not appeal to many kids. My kids would not want to do an internship like that. They have zero interest in politics or Capitol Hill.

+1. My daughter would not be interested in the CH internship. She would see it as another academic requirement, outside her area of interest, that she has to “just get through.”

Yeah, 1.5 months of making copies, stapling documents, and answering calls from constituents is super valuable and definitely worth $60k/year in tuition.

This list is so wrong. Girls and boys schools are not equal in any way just because they have a relationship of some sort. This list is better.

Nope, your list is unadulterated trash. There’s no way STA or NCS ranks above Sidwell. Bullís at #8? 🙄 You must be a Bullis parent. SJC and SSSA shouldn’t even appear on a top 15 ranking. Trash!

The order was not really as important as the schools. Yikes relax.

You are right actually GDS should be above Sidwell with its recent Harvard admits the rest is pretty accurate though with a bit of switching around.

Lol—Ok, GDS mom. GDS always has Sidwell’s name in its mouth. Perhaps one day you’ll get tired of riding Sidwell’s coattails. Dream big, GDS!

Wow, you're a classy person. Please let us know where your kids attend so we can avoid.

Yeah, 1.5 months of making copies, stapling documents, and answering calls from constituents is super valuable and definitely worth $60k/year in tuition.

What’s sad is the number of Sidwell students who can’t do this. A big reason why kids from prestigious schools tanked banking internships: they thought the internships were beneath them.

There's zero value in a HS internship on the Hill. I've worked there and we just give them busy work.

SR is better than Maderia lol

The internship program and non-partying focused students beg to differ…

Aren't those at Madeira, not Maderia?

Maybe the value is to teach them respect and humility so that when they actually get the banking analyst job where someone needs them to staple papers, they can actually staple papers.

I'm a Bullis alum and I think that Bullis is way over ranked in that list.
