[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newport Mill and Einstein have been terrific for my child. Music programs are especially great. He’s a junior now and seems challenged enough in 3 AP/IB classes, and did a couple more in 9th and 10th. He has solid career goals and hopes to head to UMD or equivalent. So if that’s the level of accomplishment that you’re cool with, it’s probably a good place to be. All of Einstein probably only has 3 or 4 Ivy matriculations per year, plus a handful of those Ivy equivalent SLACs. If that’s your goal, you may want a different school.[/quote]

I didn't even apply to any Ivies because I wasn't going to get any need-based aid and my parents could not afford to pay full tuition.  I did get merit scholarships at several private universities (but not at any SLACs). I suspect differences in family resources (even between White UMC families in W clusters vs White UMC families in the DCC) make a big difference in terms of how many Ivy matriculations there are.[/quote]

What are SLACs?[/quote]
