| It is only DCI's second year with a graduating class and a higher than 90% college acceptance rate. No ivies, but a bunch of other great schools like: UVA (x3), Oberlin, Colby, AU, Howard, Hampton, Spelman, Morehouse, Reed, Lewis & Clark, UCs, George Mason, Drexel, Northeastern, Sarah Lawrence, Temple (x3), University of Wisconsin, University of Colorado, and more. Lots of scholarships too! Congrats to the DCI class of 2021! |
| I love how geographically spread out they are. I wish I could meet the kid heading to my alma mater! |
This is great! I am a DCI family and I want to know who is going to my alma mater too. I would be happy as anything if my DC attended my alma mater; she would have a great college experience. |
| Congrats to these kids, and good luck to you! |
| Congrats to the kids at DCI! Amazing college acceptance rate for such a new high school program in DC. |
| That’s great! Congrats to them! |
| As someone at a DCI feeder, this is so wonderful to hear. 90% is a number to be proud of. |
| This is encouraging, though not a single Ivy or equivalent suggests it's probably not getting much buy in from top students. |
| Nice list! |
Actually, no. Ivy's are a crap shoot for everyone, and they will only take so many from a region. |
|
What does higher than 90% acceptance rate mean?
Students are accepted at 9 of the 10 schools they apply to? [if true - that is unheard of this year] |
|
terrific news!
|
Actually, there are at least two ivy admissions so far (in early decisions). The regular decisions don't come out until April. Also, I see Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, Ga Tech, UCLA and Swarthmore and Bryn Mawr on naviance acceptances for this year. |
And Bucknell, Elon, UMD, Pitt, Penn State, Ohio State, UMass and more. |
| This is only year 2. The list will get stronger each year. Way to go DCI. |
