[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t choose this for my DC either (a rising 8th grader). But as we look at the college matriculations, I’m wondering how to factor this program in…[b]are a high percentage of the kids who are off to T25 colleges the ones who spent the last 2 years at GW?[/b][/quote]

yes. And many T25 are "hooked" applicants--i.e. they are legacy kids, URM, FGLI (first gen, low income). The number of white or Asian, non-legacy matriculations to top schools is quite small.[/quote]

It doesn’t.  I think college admissions are not that different for GW kids.  Not bad by any means but not all top 25 or Ivies or anything.
Honestly, I don’t know any UMC kids (from Deal) opting for this program and they do fine with college admissions from Walls.  All top 25 schools and not aware if legacy at any (but definitely not legacy at many). They aren’t URM or FGLI.

I actually would be surprised if this program sends lots of kids to Top 25 schools.[/quote][/quote]
