[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll talk to you right now.  DD is a senior at TC.  She has had a wonderful time, with amazing experiences in the community.  She was accepted at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, among other Ivy League schools.  She is your average, unhooked kid, aside from taking advantage of some great opportunities presented to her in the Alexandria area.  She's taken a large number of AP courses, and scored fives on all of them.  I'd say her experience was anything but "bad."  And she's got friends who also had a great time who've been accepted at Stanford, Penn, Columbia, Virginia (Echols scholars), MIT, Princeton, William and Mary, Georgetown, Smith, Oberlin, Chicago, and many more great schools.  And the best thing about their experience is that they've really loved high school, almost without exception.[/quote]

Who lumps William & Mary in with the Ivy League schools anyway? It's an average tiny state school. Yeah, it has history but that doesn't make it good. It just goes to show you how false this entire post is.[/quote]

I don't know if you're trying to be facetious with your post, but it's not working. William and Mary is a highly selective, elite public university. It was named one of 8 "public ivies" in Richard Moll's seminal 1985 book, "A Guide to America's Best Public Undergraduate Colleges and Universities." And oftentimes, students turn down the very expensive Ivies to attend William and Mary, which is an excellent and affordable alternative for many students.  [/quote]
