Whoever said it was elite?

So you compare 7 of the top 31 public high schools in Monkey County with all the public high schools in Arlington and also exclude the TJ kids from Arlington. What are you, a pollster?

So take out Blair and RIMB which are the magnets for MoCo and see how the remaining schools compare.

So compare 5 top schools out of 31 with all of Arlington's schools? You guys aren't too smart north of the river, are you?

Once again, for those of you in the back: Half of the Blair magnet class goes to UMD-CP every year, and it's not because they cannot get into HYP and MIT. It's because their families cannot afford to pay for those schools, and/or because they prefer to save their money for graduate or professional school.

Cute story. But even here in the back of the class I can see that the stats don’t support your argument.

57 kids from Blair applied and 2 were accepted at MIT.

26 and 3 for Wootton and 17 and 3 for Walter Johnson.

It’s not that they weren’t applying - they didn’t get in.

Would you like to try again?

MIT does not take more than a few from a particular school regardless of how many apply. Everyone knows getting in to top schools from Blair and RMIB is really hard because of the competition.

Yeah - just not true.

HYP is essentially free for moderate income families. I thought everyone knew this by now?

There is a big gap between what is defined as moderate income and the ability for a family to afford 70k in tuition. We are a 200K HHI family offered no aid from Ivies with two kids being in college (one with some merit aid). Took UMDs honors program/merit aid instead for Blair magnet kid. Perhaps we should not have saved anything.
