[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Langley parents would crawl on broken glass if their kid could somehow be admitted to Potomac.[/quote] Since when is it hard to get into Potomac? I never got above a B- in middle school and I got in there. [/quote] Potomac admissions is very difficult now and has been going back for some years. Someone with a hook (e.g., athletics, legacy, or whatever) might well find admissions easier than an unhooked applicant, just as is the case at sidwell, cathedral schools, or gds.[/quote] Anecdotally we are seeing this. The only students we know who have been admitted recently to Potomac have had family connection with staff or are the younger siblings to Potomac students. Is Langley able to get kids into Potomac or Top 3 without hooks? If it’s this difficult to get into local top private high schools, then what percentage of Langley graduates go on to public high schools, boarding schools? [/quote]
