[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but chances of acceptance are better from a public. Might as well save your money.[/quote] :lol: :lol: :lol: Not true. At all. [/quote] You can say this, but to those of us who follow college acceptances in NWDC it really does seem that ED from public is better than RD from private for an unhooked high stats kid. And for many families the >$200k they save by staying in public is the difference between ED and RD. [/quote] I don't follow anything, and anecdotes are worthless, but it's true the only Ivy acceptances I hear of come from MCPS, most of them from the Blair magnet, and some from random MCPS high schools. We live in a Bethesda neighborhood that's about 50% private, 50% MCPS. Please note that the private school parents I know chose private (Sidwell, St Albans, etc) for reasons other than college admissions. So maybe that skews my already anecdotal data! [/quote]
