[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emory Overall including Oxford 14%, Bethesda 16%
WashU Overall 12%, Bethesda 14%
Vanderbilt Overall 5%, Bethesda 15%
Rice Overall 8%, Bethesda 16%
CMU Overall 12%, Bethesda 10%
Dartmouth Overall 6%, Bethesda 5%
Nyu Overall 8%, Bethesda 16%

So, if you live in the area you know what schools to possibly aim for to increase your chances. I would avoid CMU and Dartmouth. [/quote]

BCC had a weirdly good year with Vanderbilt ED.  I was talking to parents about this and it surprised everyone because the kids weren't even top kids and it's never happened like this before.

Dartmouth from Bethesda was actually 4%.  And Columbia was 3% (national rate 4 or 5%)

BCC had roughly 600 kids graduate last year.  As a BCC parent, I can assure you there is virtually no chance any one parent or small group of parents knows all these kids, let alone what their stats and ECs are.  Anyone suggesting that they can speak to what "surprised everyone" in such a large and diverse school is by that very statement making clear their statement can't be relied upon.  My parent group (which doesn't include any of the Vandy kids) in fact was just merely impressed by those kids and reminded of how big a school it is, and how variable the number of admitted kids is  from one year to the next.  Please remember that some of those families may read DCUM and that it's just wrong to insult identifiable kids on this forum, especially if you don't have actual facts and knowledge to back them up.[/quote]
