[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes that is true.

But the kids have to want to apply to those schools. Unless you have access to Latin's Naviance data there's just no way to know if they applied and were rejected, or chose to apply elsewhere.

I think that's the worst part- that maybe the school says crap like "oh but you'll thrive at small third tier private" instead of trying to apply to Michigan, for instance. I wonder if they direct kids to these third tier schools so they can say "our graduating class got over a million dollars in financial aide!"  Really hope not.

Truthfully Latin's course offerings fail to impress, and maybe that's why they only got one kid in Brown three years ago. [/quote]

I happen to know many of Latin's top students, and I also know that many (I can't say all, because I didn't dig that much) of them decided not to apply to any of the Ivy's.  For most, it just didn't feel like a good fit, so why bother applying if you have no intention on accepting an offer?  I guess it would make the school look better to all you DCUMers, but it's really about the students and what is best for them and their families.  And not all top students decide to go straight to college, some may take a gap year to "discover" themselves and see the world.[/quote]

But why??  Imposter syndrome?  I think this speaks volumes about Latin, none of it good. [/quote]
