[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child is at Jackson Reed - has a shot as these schools continue to look for diversity of Urban experiences. 
Pick one and apply ED.

Not the OP but I have a JR student.  Please say more- I have not heard about many kids going to these schools from JR in the past few years (high flyers going to Ivies and flagship state schools like Michigan and UVA)....[/quote]

All the more reason to apply to different schools. Every high school is subject to groupthink. And an applicant's primary competition is their fellow classmates. So if all the high flyers are applying to the Ivies, UVA and Michigan then apply to Tufts/WashU/Emory/Notre Dame/Rice/Vanderbilt/CMU/Northwestern. The fewer applicants there are from the applicant's high school, the better the odds. And a DC address for most universities will get more attention than say one from suburban NJ. [/quote]

My kid is at Vandy and knows a ton of kids from New Jersey and all of the suburbs around NYC (NJ, Westchester County, Long Island, Connecticut).  DC schools are strong but so are those. [/quote]
