[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll admit that it’s a very impressive list.  No other non-magnet public school in the DMV compares.  Well over 20 admissions to the Ivies, Stanford, and MIT.  You won’t find that at Langley or McLean.  No way. [/quote]

TJ is a larger, stronger magnet than any magnet program in MCPS, and each of Langley and McLean has been sending @150 kids to TJ, some of whom end up at the Ivies plus Stanford and MIT.  Also, Virginia has stronger state schools than Maryland, so there are more kids attending UVA and W&M rather than Ivies. [/quote]

The class at TJ is what 450 kids?  You’re claiming that two high schools send 75% of the class?[/quote]

PP didn’t say each school sent 150 kids in each class to TJ.  It’s been about 35-40 students from each school in every class.

So if Langley or McLean each send @15 kids to the Ivies plus MIT and Stanford every year, which is fairly common, and you add the TJ kids from the Langley and McLean catchment areas, it would be around 20 annually,  if not more.  But it’s not surprising Whitman has a lot, when you consider that UMCP < UVA/W&M and also that there are more Ivy grads living in Bethesda and Chevy Chase than in McLean and Great Falls (= more legacies).[/quote]

PP literally wrote “ each of Langley and McLean has been sending @150 kids to TJ”. [/quote]
