[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you. OP again. I thought the same but McLean high area has 30-40% price increase in the last two years. I can not make any upgrade house wise if buying there. I am also concerned about my son not being able to make to AAP in Fairfax. Is it worthy to paying all the “premiums” to be in McLean to be non-AAP students? I have more confidence in my daughter making to AAP starting 3rd grade next year. 
[b]Regarding Marshall high, is it much better than WL? Do we have data how much UVA admission for Marshall and McLean? [/b]

You have a misconception of admission procedures. High admission rate from McLean does not mean admission [i]chance[/i] is higher. Unlike parents, UVA does not consider any high school to be "prestigious." That is, UVA does not award premium status to a student just because they go to McLean HS versus a kid that goes to W-L. Universities consider every student in the context of their individual high school only - meaning they are compared against their high school classmates and not against other high schools.

There are other reasons you may want McLean - but assuming your child's probability of admission is higher is incorrect and may likely lead to disappointment.[/quote]
