[quote=Anonymous]The problem I have with threads like this are ones that make claims like "W-L does better" without backing it up. There's no real evidence that this is, in fact, the case. From what I've seen, they're about the same. Last year 484 Arlington County high school students applied to UVA. The vast majority were from public schools. 168 were accepted (less than 35 percent) and 90 ended up going (more than half of those accepted). Considering how selective UVA has become, it's pretty obvious that many if not most of the 90 who went to UVA could have been accepted at some pretty elite colleges. For whatever reason, be it financial or otherwise, either they chose not to even apply or were accepted at some pretty impressive schools but didn't go. The same goes with Fairfax County schools. UVA is a huge draw, and why shouldn't be? When I calculate elite college acceptances in NOVA high schools, I include UVA. And by that measure Yorktown does just fine. [/quote]
