It's better than magnet programs like IB at RM, given that the latter is a test in program from the whole county. And better than Blair with three to MIT. For comparison, Blair sent two to MIT who won national prizes in sciences.

We get the same depression and anxiety for free.

Celebrate the kids’ accomplishments. Don’t be so sour and bitter on private school kids. Do better.

UMD - College Park (20+)
UVA (8)
Virginia Tech (5)
Wisconsin (15!!)
Michigan (8)
UNC (5)
Indiana(8)
UC -SB (5)
So many Wisconsin for a Maryland public school! That was surprising to me. But I wonder if most kids choose not to report to this public site? It seems like this wouldn't appeal to kids who value their privacy.
Looks like about 2/3rds of the class is counted. Bethesda magazine will have a more complete list.
I think Wisconsin and Indiana are the new Michigan. My DCs Whitman class had 15-20 go to Michigan but it's become so much more competitive the numbers have dropped a lot.

It's so great to be able to get that at Whitman for free!
This looks comparable if not better than the Sidwell list posted.

Great job, kids. No Duke? Interesting. Lots of future Hoosiers. I'm not surprised that Indiana is getting very popular.
More than a few Vandy and Dartmouth. HPYS too, nice work.

Looks like most other top schools in the area. What's the big deal?
