[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's different at the DC private schools because they have sizable populations of wealthy, highly educated URMs (many highly educated URMs in the DMV use private school due to historical stereotyping, etc in public). Something like 50% of the kids are URM at some of the elite high schools and they are very smart kids: top grades, top SATs. They are an elite college's dream!! Many of them go on to apply to the Ivys and they get the spots. [/quote] Agree. There are truly excellent URM students at the elite high schools. Great on the one hand but also a challenge for equally good non-URMs at the same schools since top colleges seem to be interested in no more than 1-2 admits per school and are quite happy to take the URMs instead of the rest.
