[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really. A student at one of the worst high schools in our county got accepted to Columbia. It's more about the student than the schools.[/quote] One actually has a better chance at ivies, et al - coming from "bad" school systems. [/quote] Suburban myth. And even if it were true, who'd [b]want to show up at an Ivy ill-prepared[/b] compared to kids coming from Sidwell, TJ, Walt Whitman, W-L, McLean, etc. [/quote] Suburban myth. Kids admitted to ivies from FCPS are well-prepared regardless of their school of origin. [/quote] Graduated from FCPS (not TJ), went to an Ivy, was given the option to graduate in three years, turned it down to take more courses, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa. [/quote] FCPS like Marshall or FCPS Falls Church? No one is saying TJ is a hill to die on. [/quote]
