[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Better to be a very top student at a public than in a herd of strong applicants at a prep now. If you consider how small the classes are at Harvard and Yale, next consider 15% is spoken for by international students. Then there are regional quotas to consider all over the U.S. There aren't 150-200 acceptances going to DMV area kids, not nearly. Schools don't get imbalanced preferences, even if they are well regarded preps. I true irony now [/quote] I thought so too but then I looked at the college chart in Bethesda magazine which showed #applied/#accepted to colleges from MoCo schools. Not impressive for the most elite universities. Whitman was especially surprising. Maybe true for DC high schools.[/quote] Agree. I found that Bethesda Mag chart very eye-opening. I think many people here over-estimate the number of kids being admitted to top colleges.[/quote]
