[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] On the other hand, I hear that it is really hard to get into our local state schools (i.e. WM, VT, UVA) from these schools b/c your kids are compared to the other high achieving kids. But, supposedly, it is easier to get into these colleges from the lesser pyramids b/c you look better compared to the other kids in the class. [/quote] Is this true? Or is this an excuse used to explain why a kid from the "better" school didn't get into UVA.[/quote] I think there are informal caps of students admitted to state schools from NoVa. But I don't know if they distinguish between one FCPS high school or another, high-rated or low-rated. [/quote]
