[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not getting the point of this list? 
I know for definite a kid not particularly smart from our K-8 got into SSFS, for 6th grade they’re a full pay family but got in easily.

The point of this list is the op is one of these elitist dc people that have a ranking system in their head of the most elite schools in dc. Their kid got into prep so they want to act high and mighty. Doesn’t really matter, their kid is probably going to Fairfield or Bucknell.[/quote]

It’s certainly true that lots of GP grads go on to Fairfield, Bucknell, St Joes and even Elon, College of Charleston and Hamden-Sydney.

But what this poster may not get is that the parents are perfectly OK with that outcome. They got the high experience and environment they wanted for their son. The GP grad is now an alum and part of that community.

I’m aware of two GP grads that went onto Fairfield in and have made incredible amount of money. The path to success doesn’t always go through Yale. Book smarts are great, but are certainly not the only thing that counts. A.though there is a narrow slice of the population here that can’t imagine there is any other way.[/quote]
