[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The list from non-publics is tiny, 18 out of 158 in the county yowza.[/quote] A shade more than 11% is not as tiny as you might think. Two factors are in play, though -- there is a pretty big share of smart kids of well-off parents going to public in MoCo, and of the private kids, a lot of the smart-est and well-off-est are going to privates in Washington DC. This is as good a place as any to note that NMSF has a different cut-off by state, and Washington DC's is historically very high, because it isn't a state. No idea if or when the College Board is planning to change that. [/quote] It's not because it isn't a state, it's because they has so few students that using the highest cut off actually gets DC more NMSFs than they would have using the standard formula used for states.[/quote]
