[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thats why you are better off at a non-w school which is why those who are at W schools don't realize some of us purposely avoid them.[/quote]

This now makes sense.[/quote]

Our babysitters who are graduating from Einstein have all confirmed this. They're getting into UMD etc. when their friends at WJ down the street, who have the same stats, aren't.[/quote]

And yet hundreds at WJ get into UMD every year. Yes it is getting harder but it isn’t impossible [/quote]
I think what the PP is saying is that the same stat kid from Einstein can get into UMD but not from WJ. That's possible since WJ has a lot more higher achieving kids than Einstein, and UMD is not going to accept 90% of WJ students.

It's the "big fish little pond" scenario.

But, I would take it further.  If you really want a higher chance for your kid to get into UMD, don't live in MoCo.  As a UMD admissions rep stated, "This is not the University of Montgomery County".  They could fill the entire college with MoCo kids using stats alone.  You're better of living in a different county than MoCo.[/quote]
