[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The class of 2021 has kids going to Stanford, UChicago, Penn, Cornell, and Harvard. [/quote]

I seriously doubt this.[/quote]

I hate playing your game, but also need to inform you that I personally know of Latin graduates from the last 3 years who are currently studying at Stanford, UChicago, Penn, Cornell and Harvard.  Also Pomona.[/quote]

OK, you might want to tell the Latin college counseling department about that so they can add it to the Latin website.[/quote]

Why do they need to add it? For the millionth time, Latin cares about the finding the right fit for its students and not only about presigious colleges. They don't need to convince random DCUMers that they have an amazing thing going. If you don't like it, don't apply.[/quote]

Random DCUMers?  Try DC taxpayers who want to stay in the neighborhoods but can't get excited about sending their children to iffy and unsafe neighborhood schools.

What if the right fit for Latin graduates ARE prestigious colleges? [/quote]

Obviously those kids are going to prestigious colleges. I can also think of Amherst and Yale in the past few years. But that's not the right fit for every kid, the same as at Sidwell or Walls or anywhere. [/quote]

Looking at the 2020 list, which is from Latin itself, that does not seem accurate for most if not almost all kids.[/quote]

Are you saying Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Penn, UChicago, Pomona, Amherst, Cornell, Georgetown, Howard, Middlebury, Reed, Smith, Vassar ( for example ) are not prestigious ENOUGH?  It’s a class of 70ish kids per year, in an open enrollment DC Public school FFS. Get a grip. Don’t apply if it’s not for you, but you are not operating in any else’s reality on college admissions. Sorry.

omg YES. +100 [/quote]

Most of those schools are not on the 2020 list and this is just a list of acceptances, so the same kid could be counted multiple times. This list is not impressive if you’re a CH family with dual ivy/equivalent degrees at either undergrad or grad/prof level… and that’s actually a lot of CH families.[/quote]

This. The 2020 list of acceptances is not great, and a list of acceptances is not useful because it could be the same kid getting into all the good schools. [/quote]
