Please. Do you think the Princeton dean of admissions is going to say, "oh, there's a St. Albans parent among the 40 university trustees, I'd better accept a lot of StA applicants"? There are trustees and other prominent alums whose sons or daughers are not admitted.

Only 2 St Albans seniors got into Princeton. From Thomas Jefferson, the number was 18.

Complete lie about TJ. 18 kids did NOT get into Princeton this year. Or any year.

Last year, 14 students from TJ were admitted to Princeton and 10 enrolled.

Here is additional TJ stat from last year.

Harvard: 6 admit/6 enrolled
Dartmouth: 8 admit/3 enrolled
Columbia: 13/7
University of Penn.: 5/4
Yale: 13/7
Stanford: 7/7
MIT: 19/14

It's weird that any TJ kids would go to UMD when VA has so many great public universities. I'm not dogging UMD...it's just that why would anyone pay out of state rates for UMD when VA publics are so much cheaper and usually better.

It's the kid that gets the kid into TJ. Or into St. Albans and the ilk if we're talking about 9th grade - as opposed to K - entrance.

How many Ivy admits from NCS, Sidwell, GDS, Holton this year?

[Anonymous]

Were the STA boys landing in the Ivies and Top Ten Schools all straight A, perfect SAT score types?

[Anonymous]

From the TJ data above, it appears that a significant majority of the seniors end up in very good schools. Is that also the case for STA, Sidwell, ... students?

1. The data looks incomplete -- there are approximately 385 students in the "enrolled" category, but TJ's class of 2011 was approximately 430, it appears. http://tjpartnershipfund.org/docs/TJ%20School%20Profile%2010-11.pdf

2. Google the "Matriculation Stats" website and it has good information on area school college matriculations results. As I recall, it does not include Sidwell because they don't publicize their list at all (other schools will do things like a 5-year total, etc.).
