| 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. |
Even if you can get it up, 3 is not big |
] 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. |
uh, this is my first post about Brown. |
Sure. 🙄 |
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. |
Obsessed |
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. 🤣 |
