Congratulations.

Looks like most other top schools in the area. What's the big deal?

Great job, kids. No Duke? Interesting. Lots of future Hoosiers. I'm not surprised that Indiana is getting very popular.
More than a few Vandy and Dartmouth. HPYS too, nice work.

Four MIT.

I’m most struck by the number of kids going to better public schools. The numbers are from memory, so some may be off, but these alone account for about a quarter of the class. Ivy admissions account for about 5 % of the class.

UMD - College Park (20+)
UVA (8)
Virginia Tech (5)
Wisconsin (15!!)
Michigan (8)
UNC (5)
Indiana(8)
UC -SB (5)

very impressive, compared to where some are paying 30K plus a year and all they come out with is anxiety and depression! Not just saying.

It's so great to be able to get that at Whitman for free!

So many Wisconsin for a Maryland public school! That was surprising to me. But I wonder if most kids choose not to report to this public site? It seems like this wouldn't appeal to kids who value their privacy.

This looks comparable if not better than the Sidwell list posted.

Looks like about 2/3rds of the class is counted. Bethesda magazine will have a more complete list.

I think Wisconsin and Indiana are the new Michigan. My DCs Whitman class had 15-20 go to Michigan but it's become so much more competitive the numbers have dropped a lot.

Celebrate the kids’ accomplishments. Don’t be so sour and bitter on private school kids. Do better.

We get the same depression and anxiety for free.

Whitman is hardly free.

I’ll admit that it’s a very impressive list. No other non-magnet public school in the DMV compares. Well over 20 admissions to the Ivies, Stanford, and MIT. You won’t find that at Langley or McLean. No way.

It's better than magnet programs like IB at RM, given that the latter is a test in program from the whole county. And better than Blair with three to MIT. For comparison, Blair sent two to MIT who won national prizes in sciences.
