Actual numbers on MoCo public students being admitted to colleges. [/quote]

So this would indicate that all of MCPS sends about as many students to the Ivies as SFS or NCS & StA or GDS alone. So PP who claimed his MCPS school sent more than all the DC privates combined might have been exaggerating just a little.  [/quote]

PP summa Ivy poster.  I did not graduate in 2014!  Seriously, there is a serious percentage of families at Wilson, SWW, all the MoCo Ws + BCC, and Arlington schools who are in very similar positions as your "Big 3" children.  They are between the 1-5% income, they have top college legacy pedigrees, tons of connections, etc.  Beware, your kids are still competing with them in the total pool of applicants.  You are just paying to keep them in an overprivileged environment and where the parents are so insufferable about thinking that the fact they are paying tons for this experience means their kids are 'better'.  It's more amazing that more kids from the Big 3 don't get into Ivies + other top tier than that 10 percent or whatever that do.  You should get your money back for anything less![/quote]

If I had a nickel for every poorly written screed by someone pretending to be an ivy league grad on DCUM, I'd have a lot of nickels.[/quote]
