[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s strange that it’s such a pressure cooker and yet so few get into top tier schools. [/quote] There's a reason that the number of students getting into top tier schools is not as large as people might think. Colleges are comparing you against your peers in [b]your high school[/b]. So while your child may have taken all the right classes and done well, they must have something else to make them stand out. This in itself creates a pressure cooker environment. In a lot of ways, I think having our kids attend a W school was not to their advantage. [/quote] The vast majority are going to UMD anyway every year from Whitman (and likely all the other Bethesda HS's). And I think that is actually the goal, it's instate and it's less expensive.
