[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because of hooks, college acceptance and matriculation data for local privates can be highly misleading with respect to an unhooked student's chances of admission to a particular college.[/quote]

OP here. Thanks for the above, this is the kind of insight we’re hoping to gain. For example, which of these two schools enable more unhooked kids into better colleges?[/quote]

Holton hands down. Many of the Potomac kids going to good schools are recruits. Holton has a better track record of getting unhooked smart girls into top schools. Holton also has an environment where nerdy smart girls are valued. It's not the same at Potomac. There is definitely a place for them as Potomac has strong classes and some great academic oriented clubs but Potomac has a type of sports worship culture that permeates how the school thinks about students and treats students.

If you are in Va, I'd still consider it, especially if you want co-ed, but not worth the commute if you are in DC or Maryland.[/quote]
