[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It varies year yo year but I do keep an eye on Potomac vs Holton.  Potomac is markedly stronger, controlling for female vs female[/quote]

Wrong! Holton has much better results. Too many Potomac grads go to UVA -- they could have saved $$ + gone to any public h.s.[/quote]

Do you have any clue how competitive UVA is for northern Virginia applicants?[/quote]

I know about UVA, but it is not aspirational for parents paying huge bucks for private.[/quote]

UVA is an aspiration at Potomac and SSSA.  But at Big 3 and DCand MD independents,  it's not a goal.

Umm, yes it is. I’m a Potomac parent and I know lots of families who have wanted UVA from the beginning. I would be thrilled if one of my kids ended up there. [/quote][/quote]

What I under from PP is that Big 3 students, as a rule, have their sights set on much higher ranked school than UVA. This seems implausible, and likely statistically impossible, given acceptance rates of top 20 schools combined with the number of Big 3 who attend Top 20 schools. [/quote]
