It is true. Legacies to ivies and other top 30 schools getting admitted and and athletic recruits many others are getting rejected. |
Same at GDS so far |
|
I have only heard of two non-legacy admits to top colleges aside from athletic recruits |
How has BASIS McLean done so far this year?
|
What is that? I am unfamiliar. Public? Private? |
It was rated the #1 private school in Virginia by Niche. |
BIM is private. They always send a lot to the Ivies. |
What schools in the DMV? What colleges admitted them? |
I have never heard of this school. What is "a lot?" What percentage of students? I did not see them on the list of schools sending most students to ivies. |
Uhh I am skeptical of the criteria used for that ranking. I think number one varies and this would not be a good fit for my child. They are very athletic, very social, preppy, loves sports and wants a school that excels in sports and has a lot of team spirit. I just think it is probably a great school for some but not for a child such as mine. |
Not sure of the criteria either but, as with any generalized ranking system of schools, I’m confident that it wasn’t about what’s best for your individual child. Perhaps a lower ranked school with better athletics is a better fit. Would look at Potomac School for example. |
The list was the top 70 schools. With GDS squeaking in at 69 on the list I suspect BIM wouldn’t be too far after them. |
My child got a 1580 on SAT so they are pretty academic but the community and social atmosphere are also important to them. |
Would have been a 1600 if they went to BIM |
