No GDS students going to Harvard this year?

[Anonymous]

That is what our kids at another big three are saying. Shocking if true

NCS sending 1, Sidwell sending 3

What happened?

A school the size of GDS is going to have a zero year occasionally.

Harvard's prestige is down. Haven't you heard?

Actually none of these results is even slightly impressive.

They had 6 in 2024. The number is going to fluctuate from year to year.

Being accepted and attending are two different things. Perhaps several were accepted but choose somewhere else for whatever reason.

There are over 2000 private high schools and over 20000 public high schools in the US, plus who knows how many internationally.

How many matriculants at Harvard would you expect any top U.S. private school to have when the incoming class size is around 1600 students?

Lol Harvard’s yield is over 80 percent. The probability that “several” were accepted is very very low. Indeed the probability that one was is less than 20 percent.

I told my kid he is not allowed to apply. Based on a variety of experiences and advice from others who know the environment for undergrads there. There are a lot of great schools out there.
