How are Big 3s doing with ED?

Anonymous
Brown is not a popular application from STA. It's known for being the most progressive/liberal of the Ivies and STA is very traditional. To my knowledge there was a single Brown ED app submitted this year. Hence it would probably be a great choice for a high stats kid (no internal competition). Brown/Penn obsessed poster: take note.

Based on GDS’ and Sidwell’s IG accounts (STS’s doesn’t exist), Sidwell is doing significantly better than GDS (per usual) when it comes to college matriculations. If one is able to count, the truth is obvious.

STA’s college placement is underwhelming. Its website indicates that it only excels at sending students to UChicago. Sidwell does well at UChicago and every Ivy, which isn’t something STA can say. STA hasn’t sent a single student to Penn or Brown in the past 5 years! Penn sent 6 students to Penn LAST YEAR (2024).

Sidwell sent 6 students to Penn LAST YEAR (2024).


If true, I stand corrected. STA hasn’t sent more than 5 students to Penn and Brown over the past 5 years. That’s not good. And you will never convince me it’s because STA students just don’t want to go to those two Ivies.


Those kids are at Dartmouth and Princeton and not applied to Brown per the school naviance. Many STA kids CURRENTLY at Dartmouth and Princeton and a few at Yale, Harvard, and Penn. What is your obsession with Penn? It is weird. How many Sidwell kids at Dartmouth or Princeton? Not many considering it is much larger than STA.


That’s a fight you really don’t want to have. Sidwell students are admitted to every Ivy every year. STA cannot say the same. Last year, Sidwell sent 6 students to Penn, 4 to Harvard, 2 each to Dartmouth, Cornell, and Columbia. And 1 each to the the remaining Ivies, except Princeton. The Princeton admit chose Harvard.


STA has only sent 10 students to Harvard over the past 5 years. During that same time period, Sidwell has sent about 20 students to Harvard. Sidwell is larger than STA, but it isn’t close to double its size.

yes, and the Sidwell Ivies you mentioned are the usual collection of athletes, minorities and legacies (Harvard soccer recruit, Dartmouth board member's kid, etc, etc, etc). Meanwhile Sidwell also sent 6+ smart but unhooked kids to Chicago. Same story, different school.

I don't get why parents keep bragging about Ivy admits as if it indicates anything other than the amount of legacies, athletes, URMs, FGLI, and highly-connected kids in the applicant mix that year.

Nevertheless, Sidwell, STA, NCS, etc. are not "getting" these kids into elite colleges. The students are already heavily hooked and the school's pedigree helps in that the universities know they are prepared for college. If your kid doesn't have a hook, the high school they attend will not matter for college admissions.

You seem obsessed with proving that most/all STA students aren’t interested in Brown. We all know that’s not case.

You wish. Sidwell is nothing like STA (and thank the Lord for that!). Sidwell students are admitted to every Ivy, every year. That’s not true for STA students. In addition, Sidwell’s Ivy admits are a combination of the hooked and unhooked (2/4 of Harvard’s admits were unhooked). It appears that STA students can’t get admitted to certain Ivies unless they’re sports recruits.

DP. Looking at the stats of applicants very few of any apply there. I would apply if it were me but the students at STA just don’t apply to Brown.

There seems to be something sincerely wrong with your posts. I suggest you seek some professional help. You have some sort of weird grievance against STA. Seek help.

It sounds as if some STA students do apply to Brown. It’s just that Brown has said no for at least the past 5 years. I wonder why…

You first. You’re projecting your weird fixation with (defending) STA onto me. There’s nothing appealing about that school, so the idea that I’m fixated is laughable.

Nope there is something very deep and off about your posts.

Are you the same poster demanding to see STA’s matriculation list? For those of us that know the many many many STA grads currently at top 25 schools we just ignore your posts as they are not based in truth or facts.

No, there is something weird, off, and obsessive about your constant defense of STA’s meh college results. I haven’t asked about that school’s matriculation list because I don’t care enough about that middling school. Someone up thread posted a link from the school, so I clicked. I’m not at all surprised to find that STA doesn’t have an IG page because its results aren’t much better than Landon’s.

Look at you, “ignoring” my posts. 🤣
