[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don’t leave pre-kids, wait until your kids are in one of the 2000 student cut-throat schools*50 of them in the dmv. 
Stressful and total crapshoot applying to colleges around here.

But have fun with all the sports and arts cuts. Only <10% will make the cut! What a place to live.[/quote]

Well, if you make the <10% in podunk high school, flyover country, it still may not cut it either for an elite college.[/quote]
This isn’t 100% accurate. [b]Elite schools also care about geographic diversity[/b] so it can actually be easier to get in from a state where there are less applicants. [/quote]

I was the shining star of a podunk high school, and got into elite Ivy. And barely survived freshman year bc I was in way over my head. I would rather my kids go to excellent high school, be middle of the pack, and then do stellar at VT or JMU. [/quote]

They don't care about geographical diversity from the podunks so much anymore.  Elite US schools are MUCH harder to get in now because you are competing more with international students - the cream of the crop from their respective country.  Elite schools know that being valedictorian from some no where high school does not mean much compared to their overall candidate pool.[/quote]
