[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your list looks good!

Make sure your kid takes AP exams and gets 5's on as many of them as he can.  DCPS is known for insane grade inflation and lack of rigor and colleges go through cycles with how much they can trust them. Last year was a terrible year for JR kids who had 4.0's but no/poor standardized testing to legitimize their GPAs.  The dual enrollment and the 1560 will help.  Kids get in trouble when they have a 4.0UW from DCPS and a 1400 SAT. [/quote]

NP. I’m so sick of people talking about last year’s class like they were disappointments because (relatively) few went to highly ranked private schools compared with prior years. (Also, PP has no idea about enough kids grades and test scores to make the assertion they did. They should stop talking sh*t about a bunch of kids. And, no, I didn’t have a kid in that class.) Naviance indicates that far fewer class of 2025 kids applied to Ivy League schools than class of 2024 (and that those numbers have bounced back up in 2026). Who knows why? But it seems like last year’s class wasn’t seeking out those schools in the usual numbers.

To the extent that it matters (it doesn’t), class of 2026 already has multiple Ivy admits.
