[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top-performing at DCI, sure, high-performing in the DMV, think twice. If you're OK with IBD points totals in the 20s and low 30s for admission to 2nd and 3rd-tier colleges, DCI rocks. If you're looking for higher scores that might work for the most highly competitive colleges and your kid isn't an URM or first gen college you almost certainly either have to supplement plenty at DCI all the way up or leave. I wish things were different. [/quote] Yes, because the DCI feeders don't challenge kids who can work above grade level, the DCI middle school doesn't challenge top kids outside classes taught in the target language, discipline isn't too hot at DCI, and the school doesn't push the language speaking skills the kids need to score high on IBD language off the Spanish track. Pretending that it's all hunky dory, so DCI 8th graders don't shoot for admissions high schools, is to embrace fantasy. [/quote]
