[quote=Anonymous]Completely anecdotal, but in the early 90's I was graduating from a Potomac middle school. (1 of the 2).  Myself and 4 other classmates applied to Prep.  Two of us were white Episcopalian.  Two were Persian (1 Muslim the other Bahai) and only 1 was Catholic (and he was of east Indian decent).  Not one traditional Irish Catholic among us.

All 5 of us were accepted.  We were all pretty smart kids.  A/B students.  I scored in 99% on the PSAT's (think that's the test we took back then).  Imagine my friends had good test scores too.  All 5 of us went out for the freshman football team and played other sports. Solid athletes but no super stars.  None of us had any family connections or any other kind of connections that I know of.  All were full pay.

Not saying that this is indicative of how Prep operates today but public school kids do get in.  There were kids from other public middle schools too.  Not many but some.  And when I was there there were definitely border students that were getting financial aid.[/quote]
