Look at Arlington County publics. Arlington Magazine. Out of 4 high schools - 2,000 seniors only 0-2 total students are admitted to one of the Ivies, Duke, etc any give year.  [/quote]

I can’t believe this actually needs to be said, but…

Arlington Magazine doesn’t report ALL admissions (or matriculations).

It’s self-reported data.

This. I don’t understand others not understanding this. [/quote]

Do you really think there are all of these Ivy acceptances that didn’t get reported?[/quote]

Bless her heart [/quote]

This. People turn down ivies for full rides elsewhere or better programs for their major (cmu for cs over an ivy).[/quote]

Yes it’s why nobody from APS went to Princeton last year :).  Which has the best need based blind aid in the US [/quote]

Need based…yes…but donut hole families don’t qualify for that…but they do at top 20s that offer free rides. You are making things up. I know families who have turned ivies down for free rides elsewhere. Smart[/quote]

Merit based free ride at T20 is extremely rare.
Need based discount, sure. First Gen, maybe.

For others, maybe half tuition. [/quote]

My kid is at a top 20. Several friends turned down ivies for free rides. They offer huge incentives beyond just tuition. These kids are wooed away from ivies. You’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise. But I am not arguing with someone who uses a belief to make a statement like it’s a fact.  [/quote]
