[quote=Anonymous]I went to a fancy New England boarding school followed by HYP around 2010. I'm not sure why I remember this, but I distinctly remember having two girls in my tiny freshman writing seminar from DC all-girls schools -- I believe it was Holton and NCS but it could have been Visitation or Stoneridge. We did a lot of peer review/editing that semester, and I could not BELIEVE how sophisticated and flawless their writing was. I still remember who exactly it was and neither of them ended up being an English/history major. But their writing was so, so far beyond what had been expected of me in high school, and I had always considered myself a strong writer (800 SATs/SAT II, literary magazine, high English grades). Maybe this was a one-off, but since then I've always thought the writing instruction was stronger around here than at boarding school.[/quote]
