That’s not what I said when I posted. You didn’t read for understanding. I said top 25 colleges AND top 25 universities. My statements still stand about Sidwell sending over half of its graduating class to T25 colleges and universities. You don’t have to agree, but if you don’t you’re wrong.

NP. Based on your definition above, at least 43% (45/104) of Sidwell’s c/o 2023 is attending T25 National Research Universities (source: Instagram). That’s excellent!

There are more than 104 kids in the class, so the data is incomplete. Also, at least 43% of kids at Sidwell are probably hooked or in the top 10-15% of the class by GPA.

NP. Based on your definition above, at least 43% (45/104) of Sidwell’s c/o 2023 is attending T25 National Research Universities (source: Instagram). That’s excellent!


Excellent! Same for STA 2023 if using that criteria

There were 125 c/o ‘23 Sidwell graduates, and 104 posted (83%) on Instagram. Among the remaining 21 students who didn’t post, I personally know 4 students from that class who were admitted/currently attend Ivies. So, it’s very reasonable to assume that there are at least 10 additional students from that class attending T25 National Research Universities (4 Ivies, plus at least 6 other T25 universities). That would push the percentage to at least 44% (55/125).

So, the total percentage of Sidwell students attending T25 colleges AND universities from the c/o ‘23 is well over 50%.

I know many of you love to hate Sidwell, but you really should give credit where it’s due.

There were more than 125 graduates - it was in high 130's.

Anonymous wrote:"Sidwell is Sidwell" is wishful thinking. The name really doesn't give a huge advantage with most schools. It does seem to give an advantage with some SLACs and U of Chicago. Comparing schools is very subjective. It is harder when dealing with small private schools. On the other hand, a 4.5 with 12 APs is something that looks impressive to all.


Sending over half of its graduating seniors to T25 schools says you’re wrong. Who cares about “most schools”? Your child can only attend one college, so one is all you need. Btw, many Sidwell students want to attend SLACs and UofC as their first choice. Stop trying to create a problem where none exists.

Link?


Most recent information: Instagram page for Sidwell’s c/o 2023. 83% of the class posted their college destinations, and about 54% of that group are attending T25 colleges and universities. Look it up.

Can you post the link here?

It's incredible that someone who's using Instagram posts as fact, is calling someone else low IQ.
You cannot make this sh$t up
