So by and large, the overall acceptance rates for competitive colleges for the Bethesda area HS are no better than the overall acceptance rates for those colleges.

Very telling. So an education from these schools, overall, confers a kid little to no advantage in college admissions.[/quote]

I think most people would assume that going to a better school improves one’s college admissions prospects at least a tiny bit. This proves it really doesn’t.[/quote]

For public schools it is a complete disadvantage.  Now if you compare public to private, the privates yield better college outcomes. The school is known and regional college admissions works directly with those schools. [/quote]

Two factors at most elite privates: high numbers of legacy students and ability to pay full price. [/quote]

Incorrect

25-35% of kids at top private schools receive financial aid

Whitman kids are just as wealthy [/quote]
