NCS college admissions if kid is not a legacy, URM, or athletic recruit

[Anonymous]

My daughter is almost a straight A student in lower high school (a few A minuses). She works really hard for these grades. I've been looking at the college admissions this year and it really seems like you have about 25 girls going ti top colleges and (outside of two girls) ALL are legacy, URM or crew athletes. Then the admissions seem to go off a cliff. thank goodness for u of Chicagj because that seems it be the solo outlier.
I am not looking for an IVY admit (at all) but I'm getting freaked out by the schools that girls outside of the above categories are attending. I won't name names but they're in instagram.

Tell it to my straight. A/a- student.
Did anyone apply their daughter from NCS this year? Where are we looking at?

If U-Chicago is the consolation prize, then what is the problem?

Well, it kid not sucks to have one option. Not every smart kid wants Chicago.

Also What are the chicago stats this year? What type of grades were needed?

They don't allow kids on the team after 9th.

You are saying there is not any non-hooked NCS kid going to a top 20 school besides Chicago, and none to a top SLAC? That seems hard to believe.

Stop the obsession with a mere handful of colleges. You are embarrassing yourself.

So what level college would you be okay with? Top 50? Top 100?
Plenty of NCS girls going to schools over 100 this year.

You are staying you'd be fine with this?

Schools which ZERO NCS are attending girls next year:

Duke
Hopkins
Northwestern
Vanderbilt
Wash U
Rice
Notre Dame
Emory
Cal
UVA
USC
Tufts
Carnegie Mellon
MIT


You have the Ivies and Stanford (all girls are hooked but one Ivy and one Stanford) and then the U Chicago admits.
One to UCLA, one to Michigan

That's it for top 40 admits for the class.


I swear, I am not caught up in prestige but this is a bit extreme.

Maybe the kids liked other schools better?

That is surprising. What about Amherst, Williams, Bowdoin, Pomona, Swarthmore and other top SLACs?

None to Amherst, Williams, Bowdoin, or Swarthmore.

One to Pomona.

You are completely insane. I don’t even think you are an NCS parent because if you were you would know that more than 25 girls are going to top schools. Troll post.
