[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The college admissions officers know the schools and areas they are responsible for and they know full well that DC has plenty of comfortable neighborhoods and they get tons of applications from these neighborhoods. I had not heard the things about the merit scholarships. Why is the bar higher for DC kids?[/quote] Ask the College Board. They have decided that DC students and New England Prep school students must be measured against kids in the highest scoring state, which is usually Massachusetts. The local gap narrowed this year. The VA standard is up two points over last year. The current scores to be a NMSF are: DC. 223 MD 221 VA 220 DEL 215 WV 205 Last year the gap was bigger. VA was 218[/quote]
