[quote=Anonymous]I don't know OP finds the list disappointing, it sounds about right to me. Highly selective schools are just that, highly selective. I graduated from WT Woodson in Fairfax in the lat 80's, and even then it was considered a "top" school. Of my class of about 550, three of us went to Ivy League schools, one kid went to Duke and another to MIT. Then we had a fair number of the "smart" kids who graduated with honors who went to UVA and W&M, and a lot who went to Tech and JMU. A huge number of kids went to places like Radford, Mason (which was much lower ranked back then), and Old Dominion University. I also had 2 friends who got into Pratt and RISD, which I consider to have been a great accomplishment. Contrast that to my college boyfriend who attended a rural school, who told me that maybe 20% of his class even went to college and he was the first to go to any Ivy that any of his teachers could remember.
