14 out of 79 is 18% of the graduates go to Ivy League schools. They also sent 11 to the University of Chicago.

None in the DMV
Public is a way better shot

My kids did Big threes but transferred to public for Ivy admission which they got. W school


Unless your kids graduated 20 years ago when “W schools” sent a meaningful number of graduates to Ivy League schools, you’re lying and trolling. These days, the W schools barely send anyone to Ivies

Ok - except that GDS had as many kids go to Harvard as Whitman did to Harvard, Princeton and Yale combined. But sure it’s much a better shot.

So statistically, RM is better than any DMV private for the Ivy-inclined, but high school is not just about getting into a brand name school.


RM has 2500 students. ~800 seniors. How is this statistically equivalent to the Big-3?

Until SCOTUS rules that colleges can no longer take race into account for admissions


If SCOTUS strikes down affirmative action, the odds seem high that schools will just adopt admissions practices that are even more opaque to get the results they want.


Correct. They only have to avoid a stated diversity target to set up their student bodies however they like. Only their committee will know. Unlikely that one top school will want to take 15 kids with Asian surnames from one DC area private or any private for that matter. They can slice and dice their acceptances however they like.

Yes because it is a well known rule that if you graduate from an Ivy you can only send your kids to private school.

OP is obviously not legacy if she thinks the plural of Ivy is Ivy’s.

Ha ha ha ha. Georgetown Prep. Ha ha ha ha

Not. Even. Close.

Same for Holton but it’s no where near as funny.

GDS, NCS, STA, Sidwell and Potomac. These schools send the most kids percentage wise to schools in the Ivy League. If you can diss out how many are athletes or legacies, good luck. Otherwise those 5 send the most (plus to Stanford, Duke, MIT).


* suss out (diss was typo)

Yes and 3/4 were URM --exact same ad Richard Montgomery,
