Than 30 years ago?  Who would even be able to compare and for what purpose?  Personally, I think your best shot is roc’s and Mcdonogh and bryn  Mawr are a tougher admit.  [/quote]

I don’t think people who post this actually know...  Bryn Mawr and RPCS are sister schools and take classes with eachother (and Gilman).  They have different cultures to be sure, but bryn Mawr is not materially better than RPCS.  GL.[/quote]

Well, this is out of date.  Bryn Mawr and rpcs were similar a decade or two go, but have since evolved.  Bryn Mawr is the academically rigorous school and rpcs is geared for girls who might need more supports.  This is no secret, definitely how rpcs markets itself. Especially at lower and middle school level.  At the upper school level, rpcs does attract some more academically focused girls through merit scholarships, but there is a substantial difference between the schools in college matriculation lists once you get past the top five percent of the class.[/quote]

I disagree, but here are the lists and people can decide for themselves.

They are very differently culturally but not so much academically and it’s a shame to suggest otherwise.

Well, one school lists where students are actually attending (bryn Mawr) and the other where students were admitted (rpcs), which is a well known technique to make matriculation look better because top students get into multiple good schools, but of course, can only attend one.

In any case, no point in arguing, the schools reputations are well known in Baltimore, and op is asking about how hard it is to get in sixth grade year, not about school cultures .  I know of multiple girls who got into rpcs but not Bryn Mawr but not the reverse, so at the moment, bryn Mawr is harder to get into.  Mcdonogh has been popular for the past decade and draws from a larger area due to its bus system, and will be at least as competitive for admission as bryn Mawr, maybe more.[/quote]

My kid got into McDonogh but not Bryn Mawr with pretty average stats so I don’t know about that.[/quote]
