[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoa. Who thinks that any Tier 2 school is one of DC's best? Regardless, I went to an outstanding public high school. Straight As and really one of the best public schools in the country (New Trier). Accepted to Northwestern early admissions. Holy Shit, got mostly Fs and Ds first semester my freshman year. Was on academic probation and scared for the rest of the year. Yes, my actualy best school didn't prepare me. Still makes me cringe.[/quote] I call BS on this. I went to New Trier as well, and it was excellent preparation for college. In my college freshman English class, there were two of us NT alum--me, who had been in all 4--level & AP classes, and another guy who was in all 2 and 3 level classes at NT. Even he was a better writer than most of our classmates. And I know you're wondering... I also went to an excellent university, and went on to a top 10 law school. [/quote]
