Pretty impressive.

Another poster singled out HB as the "winner." I disagree. It has one attending MIT and another attending Yale, but that's it. Obviously it's a much smaller school, but adjusting for size it's not ahead.

Keep all of this in mind when you see next year's silly Arlington Magazine. I don't recall it ever reporting more than a handful of grads from each school attending Ivy+ schools. The data there is clearly inaccurate.


It's also self reported. And I thought it was acceptances, not matriculations?

What data are you expecting. They don’t publish matriculations, so Instagram is all we will likely get.



Arlington magazine post data available from each school, but it won’t be until over the summer. Of course it is self reported information but better than what you’re getting from Instagram.


The Arlington Mag data isn’t perfect either. It won’t be out for a while. And in the meantime we can discuss based on what we have now. Decision day just happened- it’s a natural time to discuss. I’m still interested now but will probably move on by the summer.

There are 7 Ivy admits: 2 Cornell, 2 Dartmouth, 2 UPenn, and 1 Brown.

Do you mean non IB diploma and they took the AP IB approach? A few are recruited so maybe some of them could just do intensified?


Not all high performing students at W-L choose to join the IB Programme. For whatever reason, they may take mostly AP classes with an IB elective or two sprinkled in. Those non-IB students don't need to be recruited athletes to get into top schools

Those are matriculations, not admits.


Fair. So are you a guidance counselor because getting that level of detail is basically impossible. Or are you some super invested parent tracking your child’s classmates admits?

We had more than usual go to UVA this year.


How the hell do you know that? And who's "we?"


Because my kid is a senior so I'm following the insta feed and also my kid (sometimes) tells me where their friends are going.


Meaning you're guessing.

I've seen the insta feeds. They're no different than they've ever been.


So basically you’re just guessing too.

Np


No, I'm stating a fact.


You’re basing your “fact” on the same info that the PP has.

So if they are guessing then you must be too.


No, I'm comparing what's been reported there now to what's been reported there before and there's no difference.


Which is the same exact thing that the PP did and came to a different conclusion.

So either both are “facts” or both are “guessing”.


No, douche. There are 59 students on all of the insta links here combined who have committed to UVA. The class of '25 sent 109 from Arlington and the class of '24 sent 129.

Unless there are another 60 going to UVA who aren't listed, that means there aren't "more than usual." And that poster doesn't know whether are.

She's guessing. I'm going on actual available facts.


Why do you feel the need to insult? What’s going on with you? Do better if you can or get help.

I can see now it’s a reading comprehension issue. I was comparing UVA matriculations at my kid’s school this year to past years. You don’t even know which school or if it’s even in APS, and I’m not going to tell you after you called another perfectly reasonable poster a douche. All I will say is it’s a nova public. You were looking at multiple APS schools lumped together.


A reading comprehension issue for who? If it's not even an APS then why the hell are you on this thread except to pollute it and confuse things? And what's the big secret? Name the school already.

Again, you are both basing it off the same exact info. Maybe if you weren’t so angry you’d see that fact.



Thank you from the (sane) PP. Who knew this other poster would be so triggered by my sharing that there are more kids heading to UVA this year at my kid's school in response to a question about whether publics are more popular this year.

I’m not guessing. I’ve seen the insta feeds too. This year and in past years. I’ve followed my kids’ school’s college admissions closely for the past few years, having a senior and a graduate. So yes I know more about my kid’s school’s college admissions than you do. You don’t even know which school so you’re just making things up.
