[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JR and Walls don't actually send "plenty" of kids to IvyPlus schools anymore, not like they did a decade back. The reality is that most of kids who make the cut are either on the crew teams or URMs. If you're aiming high and your kid doesn't row crew, isn't a legacy, and isn't an URM, dream on from DCPS. [/quote] So, having firsthand knowledge of the Class of 2023, I can definitively say you are incorrect. JR sent nearly 20 kids just to Ivy schools alone, including my own who was neither crew (or an athlete at all) nor URM. The Harvard and Princeton kids also were neither of what you describe. Yes, there were a bunch of crew kids and some football players as well, but the majority were not. Walls also sent many kids who were neither of what you describe, though probably a higher number of URM. There were lots of kids that were accepted to UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC SD, Michigan, and UVA as well that were not what you describe. [/quote]
