[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, pretty dismal. I saw the same thing in the Arlingotn magazine this weekend, and I was horrified. At least MoCo is similar. Does going private really help at getting into [b]better schools?[/b] [/quote] If by "better" you mean "elite," then I suppose private school families who can pay full price are at an advantage. Many people in the DMV with high-performing kids are in the donut hole, i.e. can neither pay full price at an elite school, nor qualify for need-based FA. Those families' kids go to state publics (often on a full tuition scholarship) or they attend out of state publics or privates with merit scholarships. Since schools that award merit scholarship money are not (by and large) elite schools that rank high (top ~25) USNWR rankings, such students do not even apply to these "better" schools, even if they are highly qualified.
