[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It used to have superior college admissions to local public, but now the public schools are outpacing them admission wise. McLean Langley and Yorktown have more Ivy admissions. [/quote]

I’m often critical of various aspects of the school, but their college admissions are incredible by any measure.[/quote]

Yes, recent results look impressive, but I don’t think the school — especially the college counseling office - has much to do with the results.  [/quote]

I’m pp. Agreed.

Just couldn’t really justify the idea that the students aren’t matriculating to excellent schools at a very high rate. [/quote]

I can't speak to whether the college counseling office drove Potomac's matriculation results (which quite frankly are incredible this year and have been for quite some time) but I'm going to give a nod to Potomac based on the full day workshop they host for parents (and for students) with with admissions officers from top schools from across the country to go through in small group sessions 3 common app case studies. This type of access and insight differentiates Potomac from your local public when applying to college if we are being totally honest...[/quote]

Sidwell and GDS hosted an event that matches that exact description. It's not unique to Potomac.[/quote]

Listen genius, I specifically said it differentiates Potomac from the local public school (which PP raised as a comparator) Tell me which public school in Virginia hosted this same session. GDS/Sidwell and Potomac all have equivalent college matriculation. And I would aruge their matriculation is better than publics on a per capita basis. [/quote]

I'm LOLing. Sidwell and GDS have far better matriculation than Potomac. Sidwell is winning the rat race this year by a massive margin.[/quote]

Nope.  Potomac is generally better than GDS. [/quote]
