[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids at DCI who get into the top universities would be getting into those schools regardless of their high school. I would attribute it more to the student and their personality/determination/academic excellence than DCI’s instruction. DCI is a mediocre school, but for DC purposes, it is unfortunately one of the better public options.[/quo Its very likely a lot of these kids getting into top schools woudl NOT be getting in if they attended a different school. Top schools are looking for diversity in race, ethnicity,language and experience. I would argue a kid as a better shot at getting into a top school from a DC charter or DC public than they would at a private (assuming kid isnt a legacy). yale is only going to take so many kids from Sidwell each year, those kids are competing against each other. A top kid at DCI applying to Yale actually stands out.[/quote]
