[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you think their tools are so crude that they don't distinguish between neighborhoods within the city? [/quote] Because I asked admissions officers at several top schools and I do alumni interviews for 1. My hubby does them for another. But I have no idea how the SAT program works. But DC’s good and less desirable neighborhoods are probably too close to be captured under any program unless they are very small. DC as a whole has poor neighborhoods in very close proximity to the affluent areas (think 1-2 miles or less you are in a totally different neighborhood or sometimes just block —embassy row/Kalamara (Obama/ Kushner/ Bezos) live very close to mount pleasant/Columbia heights). DC also, as a whole, has low rated public schools (I am not saying any particular school is bad). Smart kids from Wilson have been getting into good schools. [/quote]
