[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The recent Arlington Magazine article on 2013 APS college acceptances had 8 of 28 Wakefield applicants getting into UVA vs. 38 at Yorktown and 43 at W-L.  The other figures are off as well.   The school reported eight admissions to W&M, for example, not 35.

The other poster says she got information in 2013 from Naviance, but perhaps the Naviance data includes admissions over a multi-year period that is still considered relevant to current high school applicants.   The Wakefield data is nowhere near as great as she made it sound.

Sorry. [/quote]

I don't have the magazine in front of me to check your numbers, but assuming your data are correct, you have left out some important info. If 8 of 28 Wakefield students got into UVA, that's an acceptance rate of 28.6%. Are you saying that the acceptance rates for W-L and Yorktown were significantly higher? I don't remember that being the case, but am happy to be corrected.

Let's also not forget that Wakefield is smaller than W-L and Yorktown, so all things equal will have fewer applicants to any college. (Yorktown has 1784 students, W-L has 1992, Wakefield has 1533.)[/quote]
