[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]30 years ago nobody outside the midwest had heard of Wash U.  Since then, it has raised its profile, primarily by awarding merit money to coasties.  Now it draws a ton of very strong applicants from this area, as well as other metro areas along the east coast.[/quote]

Really, I think you're mistaken. I went to high school in Virginia over 30 years ago, and it has always had an excellent reputation. [/quote]

I went to Sidwell 25 years ago and one of my classmates went there.  No one had really heard of it then (that was before US News rankings of course).  Now it's one of the most popular schools for Sidwell students to attend. Definitely changed.[/quote]

Perhaps the Sidwell guidance counselors and students hadn't really heard of it, but the school was well known by the guidance counselors of many top notch southern private schools. We definitely recommended it to top tier students. I remember one year the cover showed a snow scene, and a future Duke student I knew well wasn't sure he wanted to go where it was so cold. [/quote]
