[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a completely new poster, but even after reading all of these posts (meaning, including the explanations as to why the college admissions process is so different than it was 25-30 years ago), I still think what OP is asking is a valid point.  Yes, admissions is different nowadays, much more "random" to some extent, and many colleges have risen in competitiveness to entry and quality of instruction/education (which is wonderful), but there are still kids who get into top 50 colleges, incl plenty from the public high schools in this area and I don't just mean Langley and Whitman.  I think there are a number of reasons why Latin's list is not comparable (even on a relative basis since it is such a smaller school), many of which are cited on this thread, but many of which are not, and I think are the ones that possibly concern OP.  I'm not going to speculate in specifics since I do think that Latin is a great high school with a great mission and hits an important niche in the DC system.[/quote]

OP here.  I agree with this poster.   I think there have been some valid points made in this thread.  I'm still excited to send my kid to Latin.  And I accept that I still have some learning to do about today's college application process - and perhaps I will get my comeuppance when my kid applies to colleges.   But still, I'd like to see a stronger list of college acceptances out of Latin.[/quote]
