[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids at the top public’s are awfully smart, don’t kid yourself. They know the are competing against each other for slots at the Ivies etc. Not everyone is hooked who gets in, btw. Most, probably, but some still get in due to say a perfect SAT score, valedictorian etc. And these kids are tough competitors too, not a lot of hand holding at the big public’s. There’s also a lot more competition for varsity sports, clubs, and leadership positions, at least at the Ws. Not as sure about VA schools. [/quote] Top 10 FCPS HSs are brutal, especially in STEM. Most know mom and dad can’t get them a legacy slot or donate tons. Many know there are financial limits. WM only has the capacity for a handful of kids from each class of 2500. UVA is small for a flagship. VT Engineering requires an A in BC Calc NA d Physics C unless ups are a URM/ First Gen. These kids are smart, motivated and working. [/quote]
