[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where “quota” in college admissions means “usual maximum”, then I think PP is right that it would be unusual for a non-magnet public to get more than a few admits to any given Ivy.  So McLean’s numbers look good enough in Ivy admit/matriculations and not worse than comparable public HSs in the DC metro…[/quote]

For a high school in NoVa other than TJ, a dozen or more kids in any graduating class going to Ivies/MIT is on the high end.

Anecdotally, my impression is the numbers are higher at schools like Whitman and Churchill.  Those schools are more likely to have legacies and fewer students turning down Ivies to attend the state flagship.  There are always kids at Langley, McLean, Madison, etc. who end up turning down Ivies (not HYP, but some others) to attend UVA every year.  Maybe that happens with UMCP as well, but it seems less likely. [/quote]

I think many VA students do ED for UVA and don’t ever know where else they would have gotten in. My sample size is only one as my friend’s son just went through this. He had applied or was applying and pulled out when he got into UVA ED. He had a very high GPA and SAT score and was like have at least been considered by other T25 schools.[/quote]

The number of lucky kids who apply to uva ED and get on is ridiculously small[/quote]

Not really?  Plenty of ED's are accepted.  [/quote] Well since the class size is over 600 and less than 30 are going that seems pretty small to me ie lexx than 5%.[/quote]
