[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Richard Montgomery HS had four students get into Harvard alone. All were IB program students and all were minorities.
So statistically, RM is better than any DMV private for the Ivy-inclined, but high school is not just about getting into a brand name school. [/quote]

Until SCOTUS rules that colleges can no longer take race into account for admissions[/quote]

The most selective schools can just use a different proxy for race.  Private colleges and universities can give extra “points” for a number of things that don’t directly take race into consideration (FG in an inner city school, top 5-10% of class from an inner city Title 1 school (and the student must attend said school all 4 years), etc).  So a top 5% Ballou senior is as competitive as a top 5% Stuyvesant or TJ senior.  Assume both students took the most rigorous course load available to them, and the universities are test optional.  [/quote]
The kid at Ballou likely needed a lot more discipline and went through a lot more, than the kids from the other schools.  They probably deserve it more.  [/quote]
