YIKES

yes, SCOIR for NCS is scary. Vanderbilt, Duke, Rice, etc. You basically need a 3.98. One A- max over 4 years and it can only be in a semester long course (not a full year). There are really only 1 or 2 girls per grade who qualify for these schools.

That’s definitely not the case at GDS, STA, and Sidwell. Students from those schools consistently get into those colleges with cumulative 3.80 to 3.90 GPAs.

What’s going on at NCS?!?

My kid has a 3.86/1550 and per NCS SCOIR she is in the Boston College, Colgate, Davidson type band. Pretty much all the top 25 universities are above her pay grade (i.e. the star representing her stats is in a sea of red denials). Which means they're really only available to girls in the top 10% of the class. It's sobering.
Can any other NCS parent comment? I'm confused by this whole thing.

Get ready to apply ED to Chicago.

Are these recommendations for ED or RD? Doesn't that make a huge difference?

No. the girls getting in to Duke/Vandy, etc are doing ED. but they don't get in without the 3.9++ as well.

In CO 2024, there are 12 girls going to ivies. Plus 3 to georgetown, 1 to MIT, 1 to Chicago, 1 to Wash U, 1 to Duke. That's 19 right there. They all got about a 3.9? Or even a 3.85? Seems very doubtful. I think only a few of the 19 are legacies or recruits.

Out of the 12 Ivies at least 3 had a 4.0. The rest all had above 3.9 except a legacy. The Wash U had a 4.0.
The MIT and Duke had a 3.9+. One Georgetown is a faculty kid.

How do you know any individual child’s GPA?

well there were 4 valedictorians who all had a 4.0. Then the rest were cum laude girls who had a 3.9+.
it's all school-wide knowledge.

Can’t be true. Only public schools have multiple valedictorians acc to DCUM.

Is this an exceptional class? I thought it was generally very rare for even the valedictorian to have a 4.0 and that the cum laude cut off was around a 3.8.

No GPA will guarantee your child admissions to any specific school in this category. Broaden your mind and be open to finding the right school for your kid, not just the school on the top of some list some a-hole made somewhere.

Yes mom. We know.

You do know cum laude doesn’t include freshman year gpa and only first semester of senior year, right? So there are always students who actually have lower overall gpas than a 3.9 inducted into cum laude. Basically you are making incorrect assumptions about their gpas.

This doesn't seem realistic. I think there were 3 girls who got the flag, so how could there be 4 with a 4.0? Aside from maybe knowing that, I doubt the GPAs of other top students or cum laude were common knowledge.
