Bethesda Magazine posted MCPS stats recently and another poster did a great job of summarizing them.

Given low numbers from this area, your DC probably needs to do a very good job at showing demonstrated interest. Your "unpopular" theory could work against DC if the admissions staff think "nobody from there chooses this school" so why bother accepting someone who won't come.

How hard is it to get into? Just because there are 16 MCPS enrollees doesn't mean many more didn't apply.

IDK, it might. From what I hear colleges primarily compare applicants against their own classmates. So less competition from within the school might give some marginal benefit, assuming they have the basic stats to be competitive in the first place.


Would seem to be a slender reed.

Hard to say without knowing the % admit rate, overall or for MCPS.
