[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what the point of this exchange is. Granular data does not exist on SAT scores and AP achievements for the tiny subset of DC public school seniors reaching for the stars in college admissions. In my work as an independent college counselor, I've dealt with clients from JR, Walls, DCI, Latin and BASIS etc. who applied to institutions admitting in the single digits (there are two dozen such colleges). The majority strikes out although, on paper at least, they seemed to have had a good shot of being admitted.  The successful applicants take at least half a dozen APs, or a combination of IB Diploma exams and APs, and score mostly 5s. They also score 700s or 800 on both sections of the SAT. None has been a recruited athlete. Most started taking APs in 9th grade. If they aren't at BASIS, they generally sign up to take an AP or two at a private or suburban school along the way. A small minority also takes Cambridge exams. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/lowest-acceptance-rate[/quote]
