OK, you're not the PP with the matriculation numbers -- my mistake, though my point nonetheless applies to your claim that 12 kids from your DC's public high school got into Columbia.  Neither post takes into account the size difference between public and independent schools, so the logic behind both posts is still flawed.  And, you're still not responding to my point disputing your claim that all MoCo high schools are filled needy kids -- which is certainly not true of the schools cited by the other PP and to which I was referring in my post.  By noting that, I'm not "picking a fight"; rather, I'm responding to a statement.  That's called discussion.  In that vein, if you find my arguments ridiculous, then go ahead and rebut them -- with facts.     [/quote]

OMG, get a life. Let me make you happy: yes, private school kids are uniformly smarter, more motivated, and even better looking than public school kids. The fact that many public school kids can't afford ivies has absolutely nothing to do with their lower matriculation rates to ivies. In fact [b]most public school kids live in-bounds for Churchill[/b] and are just as rich as private school kids -- so feel free to ignore that key point about the affordability of ivies, as you've been doing all along.

You forgot the ones who fly into MoCo by private jet from Beverly Hills.

Too many a$$holes on DCUM today. This applies to the people slamming Indiana, too. Is there a full moon? It could be the same poster though. [/quote]
