[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I call bull****.  In 2025, Jackson-Reed didn't send a single student to Harvard, Stanford, or MIT.  PolarisList.com .  If you are just going to make up stuff, you have to keep your claims vague and not capable of easy verification.[/quote]

Given that Jackson-Reed doesn't send ANY students to Harvard, Princeton or MIT, your DC's chances there are essentially zero.  Granted, your DC's chances at a top private are maybe only 3 percent, but those private school chances are still better.  Each family has to decide for itself whether a nominal increase in chance is worth a few hundred thousand dollars, but it is b.sh__ that chances are better in publics, even in top publics.[/quote]
JR has at least one student going to Princeton this year. [/quote]

Even if you accept this rumor, 1 in a graduating class of 500 would be awful results.[/quote]

The overwhelming majority of privates get 0/500 into Princeton.[/quote]

And yet Sidwell, GDS, STA, NCS, Maret, WIS, Bullis, and Potomac all manage to keep Princeton on their 4 year matriculation list multiple times over... and oh yea 4 years would put them right at the 500 mark for the most part... 🤔 [/quote]

Are you under the impression that TJ doesn't?[/quote]

Why do people not read the quote that people are responding to? I was responding to a comment about private schools, not TJ (a public school)... and while I believe TJ students do get in, not nearly percentage wise as the top privates.[/quote]
