[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]went to MoCo public school - and graduated summa from an Ivy. More kids at my Ivy from my public that year than from the Big 3 combined. And None of the Big 3 kids were magna, or summa. [/quote] I call BS on this. If you are referring to the most selective Ivy's, then the matriculation stats you site don't hold up (see link). Using this same year as a comparison, SFS had a similar number of acceptances to H/Y/P alone as the combined acceptances on this list. Of course, in certain cases there were multiple acceptances for the same student, for both the publics and the privates. And when you eliminate the magnet school from the list, it isn't even close to the number from SFS, NCS, STA, GDS (which combined have a graduating class about the same size as one of the listed publics). http://bethesdamagazine.com/College_Chart.pdf[/quote]
