[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated from a Fairfax Co. HS in 1988 and it was said to be one of the most competitive years. This certainly was not the case for my high school. So many waitlist and outright denials for top kids (top 5% of class) at UVA/W&M and Ivie, Duke, etc. Even a Supreme Court justice's kid was waitlisted at many of the places I was.[/quote] That's not to say it's not increasingly more difficult these days to get in. The difference being that student's "Back up schools" back then are now very hard to get into, but it was just as hard for the top 10/Ivies, etc.[/quote]
