Interesting that Whitman did not have nearly as many Ivy acceptances as the other schools. [/quote]

What's surprising is how much better RM and Blair do than these vaunted W's.[/quote]

Why is that surprising? They each have more than 100 kids graduating who were plucked from other schools for being among the top students in the county for their respective magnets. [/quote]

It also shows how fierce the competition is at those schools. Significantly higher number of applications for competitive admission.[/quote]

+1 We know some families that opted against those schools for that very reason. Easier not to have to fight all other big fish in a big pond.[/quote]

Except that there they seem to at least have a chance.[/quote]

Based on the admission stats (applied/accepted) for Harvard only, the best chances were at BCC and then Churchill. These were the only 2 schools that exceeded the general acceptance rate of 4.5%, too. Then RM, Wootton, Blair.  The other schools had no acceptances. No nuance here, just looking at the chart and calculating the percentage. [/quote]
