[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very underwhelming for upper class grads with legacies, AA and athletic recruitments. [/quote]

The class is about 400+, I think.

There are very few AAs at McLean, about 4%?  The profile says that it's 51% White, 26% Asian and 7% "Other" of which most are probably kids of Asian descent who don't want to mark "Asian".

Athletic recruits were only for Duke, Dartmouth, Muhlenberg, Bucknell, Juniata, West Point, Oregon State, Yale, 1 each, according to the magazine.

Legacy?  Probably helped some kids get into the T30, but not in all cases of course.

FARMs rate?  McLean is higher than Langley but lower than Justice, etc.  The higher income folks who can be donors aren't sending their kids to McLean, but are at privates. [b]We have a lot of military and civil service folks here who are not full pay.[/b]   So McLean is basically like Langley, New Trier (IL), Carmel (IN), Palo Alto (CA) and any number of upper income public high schools.  It's a symptom of how we fund public schools in the US that these schools have such demographics.

Again, this is just one set of data points. It will mean different things to different people. There was a recent thread about a 4.6 WGPA/1550+ SAT Mclean kid who didn't get in anywhere.  Probably that was a troll, maybe not. But I wanted to give a different point of view with pubilc data.[/quote]

lol, by that do you mean flag officers and SES? [/quote]
