[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All things being equal, if you drop shipped them to BCC now, fully-formed, they might have a slight edge getting into an Ivy or something, but that's truly not the point.[/quote] By my count BCC had 18 Ivy matriculations in 2022 according to Bethesda Magazine, a third of which were to Cornell. Two to Princeton, two to Yale, rest to Penn/Columbia/Brown/Dartmouth. I don't know if that really constitutes an "edge." Your broader point is right though.[/quote] That’s it? That is a very low percentage based on the number of students there. [/quote] We also don't know how many of them are legacies (highly likely given the families that live in the BCC district), URM, and athletes, lest we think these questions should apply only to private school admits.[/quote]
