[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing is, those lower scores are NOT AT ALL relevant if you're coming from a school in the DMV with a cohort of high performing students.

You're compared first and foremost against classmates and then your school district. Look at the stats for how many kids apply to each Ivy from a single high school in MCPS (or FCPS) or then the district at-large.  It's dozens and dozens and [b]then 1 or 2 will be admitted across the entire county. [/b] You can be sure that the 1 or 2 admits do not have an SAT in the 1400s.

The same goes for the top DMV privates.  There will be 15 kids who apply to Brown (for example). Any admitted unhooked will be an  
academic superstar with SAT of 1550+.  This 100% was the reality last year when my oldest kid was a senior. [/quote]

You have no idea what you’re talking about. I believe there are multiple ivy admits at every FCPS school per the school’s senior year instagram posts. [/quote]

There were 41 freshman students enrolled at Yale from the entirety of Virginia last year.[/quote]

That's actually a lot when consdiered as a percentage by state and territory. Take out 11% international in a freshman class, divide by the states and territories.[/quote]
