[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The easiest hook is simple being the top of your class. [b]Even the worst inner city and back country rural schools send 1 student to Harvard per year. [/b] Look at the polaislist.com , which bases its data on Harvard yearbooks. However, when DCMoms hear that their DC needs to be at the top of the class, they claim that that is so unfair.[/quote] What? There are 20,000 high schools in America, and last year Harvard took a little more than 2,000 students. The average American high school sends 1 student to Harvard every 10 years. Many high schools go longer than that without sending anyone. [/quote] MoCo publics (nothing special) send 2 to Harvard per year. Not easy, but certainly not "impossible."[/quote] No, they don’t. The MCPS magnet high schools do well but most MCPS high schools send zero, including some of the highest ranked schools. [/quote]
