[quote=Anonymous]I live in Philadelphia (we used to live in DC before we moved). DD#2 is a junior at a Big3-type private in the area. I have noticed state flagships are increasingly popular with the kids who are just outside the tippy top of the class ie kids who wont get into ivies but are smart, have taken rigorous classes. Even though OOS I am sure it doesnt hurt that they apply early and parents are full pay. Last year's graduating class sent 1 to UCLA and 1 to Michigan, 2 to UNC, and 3 to Wisconsin (1 recruited athlete). Our school has honors classes but does not weight GPAs so the max of 4.0. A student with a 3.5 in honors classes would be very competitive for those types of colleges. [/quote]
