Huge # going to UVA, Wake Forest, W&M, and surprisingly many going to W&L. Here's the list for Virginia schools:

College of William & Mary (18)
George Mason University
James Madison University (3)
Marymount University
Northern Virginia Community College
Old Dominion University
University of Mary Washington (2)
University of Richmond (2)
University of Virginia (30)
Virginia Commonwealth University
Virginia Tech (6)
Virginia Wesleyan University
Washington and Lee University (11)[/quote]

Parents could have enrolled their kids at Langley or McLean with the same or better results.  This is also for 4 years.  [/quote]

Bingo. Or even better come out to Loudoun. We have similar UVA/WM numbers. [/quote]
No, you don't.[/quote]

I assure you our mediocre, run of the mill public high school sends 7-8 kids to UVA each year. Sorry you wasted all that money. [/quote]
Now run the percentages rather than the number of individuals. [/quote]

I would expect better admissions statistics from a $200k private school. I wonder what would be the most effective use of $200k to maximize elite college admissions: attending a top NOVA public school while spending $200k on tutors, private counselors, test prep, and extracurriculars, or spending that $200k on tuition at Potomac School. The truly wealthy families at Potomac are probably doing both.[/quote]

The parents don't care about admissions results or the tuition. These people just want connections, nice facilities and to get away from the poors. Some of these kids have trusts and will never need to hold a job. Who cares where they go to school. [/quote]
