[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would imagine it varies widely by school. At our small top-rated magnet that gets kids into top schools it is hard to impossible in RD if someone is admitted ED/SCEA. [/quote]

Didn't TJ magnet get 6 kids admitted to Harvard and 6 to MIT last year?  TJ is the only DMV area school considered to be a "feeder" to Harvard, based on number of kids admitted for the last 15 years.   So it depends on the school.  I thought I read that Georgetown Day private school (GDS) got 6 kids into Harvard last year, and none this year.  Factors like legacy and athletic recruit status will obviously come into play too.[/quote]
Only someone from the DMV would call Tommy John school a “feeder” to Harvard…[/quote]

Try learning to read.  The Harvard Crimson, which is Harvard's student newspaper, categorizes Thomas Jefferson magnet as a feeder based on its analysis of data from 2009-2024.  What's your data source?

Math is your friend. Tommy John has over 2000 students. So if St. Anselm’s, with its class of 30, gets 1 kid into Harvard every three years, it’s Harvard proportion is greater than Tommy John’s, even if Tommy John had it’s banner year of 6 Harvard grads every year. Nobody calls St. Anselm’s a Harvard feeder (not like it even wants to be a Harvard feeder, but that’s another story).
You are ignorant of what real Harvard feeders look like. This is because you are DMV. That is all. [/quote]
