[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First generation Chinese-American with a recent Big 3 grad. We saw nothing to indicate that "East Asians are affirmatively discriminated against" in admissions at the DC area independent schools.  My DC applied to 2 of the Big 3 and was admitted to both. My impression is that the schools would  love to have more Asian-Americans. Among fellow Asian-Americans in the DC political/legal/policy/think tank world, I would guess that the majority send their children to the independents. In part, many of us were among the first wave of Asian-Americans in the elite colleges and professions and [b]we are as concerned about building our children's social capital[/b] as we are about their academic skills. Among more recent immigrants in the outer suburbs and more IT or small business backgrounds, few are interested in paying $40k+ tuition when first-rate magnet programs are possible for free.[/quote]

Hi, PP. Can you elaborate more on the bolded words above? Did attending Big3  truly help your kids?
