[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best are Langley, McLean, Madison pyramids

Marshall is recently almost mediocre but fell again so I wouldn't count on it[/quote]
Fell how? You mean with GS’s new system that doesn’t take it into account it’s a IB school?[/quote]

That, and penalizes diversity.

For crying out, people, if you want to really understand the quality of the school, stop looking on anonymous boards, or at least apply some critical thinking to what metrics to pay attention to (hint: not SAT scores, or dubious rankings that have obscure methodologies with hidden biases). But if you are looking for richest/whitest/most Asian, by all means come here and listen to the advice.[/quote]

An interesting article:  https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/no-one-likes-the-sat-its-still-the-fairest-thing-about-admissions/2019/03/22/5fa67a16-4c00-11e9-b79a-961983b7e0cd_story.html?utm_term=.a47684513d02

Some posters are more than happy to equate any measure of academic aptitude or achievement with socio-economics, or tar them with labels like "dubious," "obscure"  and "biased."  They rarely, if ever, offer a meaningful alternative, which suggests that they simply oppose any attempts to measure aptitude or achievement altogether.  [/quote]
