[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the high GPAS  from public schools may be questionable to some of the elite schools mentioned by the Blair mom poster.  Public school kids in the DMV were not in school for a full year plus.  The education was not good and As were handed out easily or it was a “pass” mark/. We all know it.  Lots of kids equally worthy of admission to an top 30 were actually in a school building and standards were not dropped.  Admissions folks know it.   I do believe that is why there are the huge number of odd rejections out there.  Covid strikes again (at least if your kid is in the DMV!)[/quote]

Interesting - that’s a point I really hadn’t thought about. My D goes to a top ranked, challenging VA public school; as far as we know at this point (and, of course this could change!) but as of today, we are seeing a huge drop in acceptances to certain schools that usually accept many kids from our school (we are talking 1/3 admitted compared to normal). Admittedly, as with other DMV schools, our school was virtual most of last year. Are our kids now being held accountable for that? Would be super upsetting if that is the case - it’s not like they had a choice![/quote]
