[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe TJ to VT?! Or Visi and Gonzaga to Georgetown. Interesting question pp. I know of blatant feeder boarding schools in ma and prep schools in ny, where at least five students will attend T10, not too sure if dc has them anymore. On another note, since most kids don't want to commute and plan to leave the dmv; has anyone from the area been rejected from Georgetown? [/quote]

HUH? Nobody from our large public was admitted to GU this year.  There are only ever 0-2 admitted each year. At my nephew's DMV HS nobody has been admitted to Georgetown in over a decade. My neighbor got into an Ivy and Hopkins and was rejected from GU.  It is an extremely competitive admit, requires all test scores--basically straight As for any non-legacy/non-faculty kid.  A&S college had only a 5% acceptance rate EA.  It is around a 6-7% admit when you take into account the population of students applying have already self-selected since it is score REQUIRED and not on the common app.  Once all the other schools go back to score required and GU adopts common app it will be even harder.

Georgetown is also NOT a commuter school.  Seriously, WTF?  There is a 3-year requirement to live on campus. It's student body is one of the most geographically diverse---much more so than state universities. [/quote]

I have no idea what you consider a feeder. However, according to their college Instagram, Gonzaga currently has 3 going to Georgetown and 3 to Notre Dame. Not even 1/2 of the class has posted. I am sure there will be a few more. [/quote]

Duh. That's more about legacy and faculty kids...than feeder.  It's also Catholic.  Catholic schools like Catholic kids. But, it is a tough as hell admit. [b] At our school, the non-legacy kids are in at Ivies too.[/b][/quote]

+100 the kids admitted at my kid's school also got into top 10s and several top 15-20s.  They require test scores and near perfect grades...and applicants with a lot of community service/Jesuit values.[/quote]
