This. Assuming we're talking about DC, then understand that top __ colleges know the drill at Sidwell, NCS, Holton and so on.


Given the population and SES here, the colleges know most of the big schools, I believe. They know MCPS and Bethesda schools, etc, they know Sidwell, they know St. John's and Burke, etc.

If you go to any Ivy an F is quickly turned into a C and a D will get you a B.
