[quote=Anonymous]The school doesn't matter nearly as much as the family and the kid in question.  The UMC seniors/families with a good shot of being admitted to colleges admitting in the single digits have been go getters for many years. The kids invariably pursue serious academics (tutoring, maybe college classes, summer AP courses, language immersion abroad etc.) and extra curriculars outside of DCPS and DCPCS. These families seek out opportunities for the kids, do the legwork, pay the dough. The small number of kids taking Cambridge Exams on top of AP and/or IB Diploma tend to be among the most successful in college admissions, along with the families who double up on IB Diploma and AP exams from Banneker and DCI (though admins at these schools don't advise doing this). These kids generally read widely outside their school's curriculum. They also tend to apply Early Decision or Early Action. Some even take gap years and apply to college in the fall of gap years (great strategy for those aiming high).[/quote]
