[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is it any better when you have 50+ kids from some giant Moco public applying to the same Ivy? Genuinely curious.[/quote] Seriously. Can anyone provide proof that an unhooked MCPS kid does better with college admissions than an unhooked kid from a MoCo private?[/quote] The difference is that a large share of MoCo kids aren’t going to college, and another large share will go to UMD (which is cheaper and also offers great aid) and another large share is hunting for a good merit or financial aid package (and the ivies don’t give merit aid). Unlike at private schools, where parents have already been forking out tuition, fewer public school parents can be full pay at a top school. [/quote]
