DC just graduated from W-L. There is an IB program at W-L that is like a school within a school. Those kids get great admissions results to Top 10 schools and especially Univ of California schools.

Top 10% cut off is around 4.3. Im surprised to see the SAT and ACT scores. Clearly lots of these kids went test optional. FYI the data is not pulled from Naviance per the college counselor.

ok, but that's not what his chart proves

It proves a lot of parents/students were lying about their test scores to everyone

Right? My kid totally undershot based on this information.

I suspect that the very low test scores are people are pretty strongly "hooked," either as athletic recruits (most likely), or big development potential, or perhaps in a few cases URM's who were otherwise fantastic candidates for admission.

Never heard of it but looked it up. Seems diverse and probably "average", not "dcum average"

Its a very well regarded high school in Arlington, VA. Very diverse, both on racial/ethnic dimensions and also in terms of wealth.

Diverse = hooked = no or lower test scores needed. And quite a few of those kids are NOT upper middle class, which we know correlates closely with test scores.

Right?! I can’t look away. Take a peek at Villanova.

Wow.

Why don’t they include the data for the colleges where everyone was rejected? That data are as useful as the colleges where only 1-2 were accepted.

Ha! 2 applied and yet 4 were accepted.

Btw, they had high test scores and GPA.

Georgetown requires tests, does not super sore and requires every test a student has ever taken.
