[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are the 2021 admissions from a Big3 (does not included multiple admits at many of the schools).  Is there one college on this list that you wouldn't be happy that your kid is attending? 
Personally I think it's awesome and guarantee that my kid will attend a decent college---never mind that they are also learning to to write well and think critically.

Is this the complete list?   [/quote]

Yes, complete list from alumni magazine this month [/quote]

Ok.  So, looking at this list, clearly the large majority of this school's graduating class did not end up enrolling in an Ivy League school.  Is there any way of knowing how many of the acceptances to the Ivies were to legacies?  I ask because, as we all know, the Big 3 is full of parents with Ivy League degrees.

Once you take out the Ivies, the list is really no more impressive than what you'd find mixed in with any of the top 1/3 or so public high schools in the DMV.  You'd also find many other schools in the mix in those schools as well, of course, because the schools are much bigger and have open enrollment.

In other words, I don't see any real "bump."  [/quote]
