[quote=Anonymous]This has been true for decades. If you want an amazing education, send your kid to the “big 3”. If you are a double legacy with status and a sport, you will still get into an ivy. But if you’re a normal family and ivy is the goal, you’re much better off at something like an Alexandria or south Arlington public high school - where you can stand out more easily and you get the benefit of a high free lunch and very diverse population. Colleges love this. They act like they’re doing something good by taking “disadvantaged” kids from low scoring/failing high schools but really all they did was take one of the handful of UMC kids. That same kid at Langley would be 50/50 for UVA.[/quote]
