[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A truly impressive student from a DC private can get into an Ivy, full stop. [/quote] What do you mean by "truly impressive?" Top 1-2 in the class with outlying extracurriculars to match? Yes, probably so. But that is 2 kids out of 75 or 125 or 150 that get in on academics/resume alone. But that leaves a LOT of very smart, well prepared kids who can't. The thing is---> this is a marked change in the past 3 years. That is what people are saying. [/quote] And people know because of what they’ve “heard.” And yet, private schools continue to be WAY overrepresented at Ivy League schools. But sure. Let’s believe your anecdotal data from Upper NW mommy gossip.[/quote]
