[quote=Anonymous]The truth is that from all area DC schools, almost every Ivy admit has some hook -- whether it be a prominent alum parent (not just your run of the mill gives $100 every year, I am talking truly connected), a recruited athlete, or something else that makes them really, really stand out. Your average smart kid is very unlikely to get into an Ivy from either a top DC public (yes even the ones you named) or from a DC public. Of course, there are myriad other reasons to send your kid to a private school. But your stated one -- helping my kid get into an Ivy -- is not at the top of that list. [/quote]
