[quote=Anonymous]These DC top privates do and will continue to do very well for the top third to top half of the classes. Even if they don't do as well as top 5 universities as consistently, the top half of these kids will always get into top 10-20. It's the bottom half that is greatly, greatly disadvantaged by not having the opportunities to show what they are capable of the way, say, MoCo kids can. I know. I have 3.0 kid from one of these and he just got deferred from every single school he's heard from so far. And it's all from having a B--minus average sophomore year. He was denied access to all APs until his senior year, doesn't get the chance for re-takes like public school kids do, and it is really hurting. I am certain that had he gone to Wilson, he would have a 4.0 and doors would be opening. Instead, because he attended a school that deliberately keeps kids at the bottom in order to really allow the kids at the top to stand out. I have no doubt about this. If I had to do it over, I would never send my son to this school again. Figuring out now how to get my younger one out without ripping our family apart.[/quote]
