[quote=Anonymous]I recently attended an awards ceremony for the kids graduating in the top 5% of their MoCo public high school class (about 30 kids). Of that number, I'd estimate only about 50% (roughly 12-15 kids) were going to Ivies or elite private universities. Most of the rest were either attending UMCP or a 2nd tier university (think SMU, U Alabama, etc) on a full ride scholarship. I've no doubt that money was the prevaling reason, as these kids all had GPA's in the 4.6+ range and many were National Merit Semifinalists. Money talks, unless you are fortunate enough to be wealthy.[/quote]
