[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article shows why Jackson-Reed HS bats way above its weight class when it comes to elite college admissions. J-R kids getting a high SAT (1450+) when the school average is closer to 1000 and even worse for DCPS overall are sought after by schools like Dartmouth. Now combine that with some very DC-specific opportunities for interning, leadership, etc and you have a very compelling applicant. [/quote] Right, the white upper middle class kids get a major admissions bump. but many of them struggle when they're in college. I know a few (a relative and the kid if a good friend) they are both floundering. Others do fine and even great. But 4 years of crap for high school doesn't work for all kids.[/quote] So you're saying lower SAT kids struggle in college? Interesting that the universities aren't saying that.[/quote]
