If you were to adjust downward for inflation, is the current tuition similar- adjusted for inflation - to the tuition in the 1980s/90s? Or even if you consider the overall inflation is it still much more expensive? In other words is becoming more and more expensive?

No, tuition increases have outpaced inflation throughout that time.

The increases feel outrageously excessive.

NCS cost $10k in 1990. In 2024, that $10k is worth $23,469.47.

But they all are bastions of inclusivity and equity.

NCS doesn’t seem like they’re trying to be “bastions of inclusivity and equity.”

The schools admitted a large chunk of the students when they were 3 or 4 years old (i.e., no track record of academic or athletic excellence).

You tried but this PP proves the old adage that you can put lipstick on a pig (or admit obnoxious parents to an expensive school)but it’s still a pig.

The school is fantastic. Exclusive places attract people with chips on their shoulders, and sometimes they slither past the admissions.

NP. You may not like the delivery, but you have to admit that a 3.5% Ivy admissions rate from Whitman presents objectively slim odds. Yikes—I had no idea!

PP here. The school I was referring to as being fantastic is Sidwell. I don’t see how W Ivy admittance plays into it one way or another.

This. They generally eschew change and progress. (Higher tuition being an exception)

A 10% increase?!? Are you sure?

Last year was $46k this year is $51k. It's actually a tad higher than 10%.

That’s a huge jump! Is that an all inclusive price (e.g., lunch, yearbook, fees (including technology/computer)?

It’s for their sstupid field that the idiot former head of school and moron former director of athletics insisted we needed before they both retired and left the parents with the bill. I hate them both.

The field was separate funds raised.

To your point, I do much prefer the current AD. She's great.

That’s your baseless opinion. What’s important is that colleges agree with me. As posted upthread, “Sidwell consistently sends a higher percentage of graduates to Ivy+ colleges than the W schools.”

Idiot

You clearly struggle with reading comprehension. You must be a W school graduate. 😝

Again where in the link it shows that "Sidwell consistently sends a higher percentage of graduates to Ivy+ colleges than the W schools"?
Help me out

Did you click on the link? I’ll make it easy, just focus on Ivies. Select every W school, look at the number of applicants to each Ivy, and then look at the number of students admitted—simple math. Next, compare those numbers to Sidwell’s c/o ‘23 (about 80-85% of graduating seniors posted on Instagram). Sidwell’s posts only include matriculants to specific colleges. There are several Sidwell students who are admitted to more than one Ivy every year. Despite that fact, Sidwell sent/sends/will send a much larger percentage of students to Ivies than any of the W schools.

Yes and the link doesn't show the "fact" that "Sidwell consistently sends a higher percentage of graduates to Ivy+ colleges than the W schools". In fact the link doesn't have anything to do with Sidwell, much less showing your so-called facts. You clearly don't understand facts.
You're clearly not too bright.

Sticks and stones, dear.

I see those poor public W school matriculation stats have upset you. I cannot relate—lol.

Of course you cannot relate. We have more matriculations than you, without having to pay $50,000+ a year.
Like I said, you're not too bright.

Oh, I see you don’t understand how percentages work. I knew you were a W(oeful) grad—lol.

Cheer up, your children are used to public school, so they will feel right at home at Maryland state universities. It’s a good thing you didn’t “waste” your money paying for your children’s education at a W school. Based on these W(oeful) admissions stats, you would be absolutely enraged.

Let’s use Whitman as an example.
#Applications/#Admitted:

1. Brown: 41/0
2. Columbia: 29/0
3. Cornell: 67/3
4. Dartmouth: 20/0
5. Harvard: 28/0
6. Princeton: 25/2
7. UPenn: 63/3
8. Yale: 33/3
Total = 306/11

Whitman seniors submitted 306 applications to the Ivies, but only 11 students were admitted. That’s a 3.5% admissions rate!

On the other hand, this is how they fared at Salisbury (27/22); UMBC (148/130); and UMD (386/243).

Like I said earlier, I can’t relate. Sidwell can’t relate either because they send at LEAST 15-25% of their students to Ivies EVERY year (not to mention the total number of admits). Good luck!

1. Where's the admission stats for Sidwell? How can we compare? Goodness
2. Going by percentage is irrelevant and pointless because schools are Limited by the number of admittance.
Once again, you showed that you are not very bright.

Good Morning W(oeful) grad/parent!

1. Instagram (Sidwell c/o 2023). Look it up. 83% of the graduating seniors posted, and based on Instagram posts alone 17/125 (13.6%) are Ivies. I personally know 4 students from that class who didn’t post. They are currently freshman at Ivies this year (21/125=16.8%). Btw, there were several 2023 Sidwell grads who were admitted to more than one Ivy that year, so the overall Ivy admissions rate is much higher than 16.8% (and MUCH higher than 3.5%).

2. You don’t understand percentages or college admissions policies. Private colleges can select as many students from a particular high school as they want. There are a couple of NYC privates that consistently send 20-35% of their graduates to Ivies (and they’re the same size as Sidwell). Unlike you, I’m not going to try to make excuses. Those colleges clearly prefer those NYC privates for whatever reason.

My goodness, you're are truly dumb.
1.Instagram posts and anecdotes are NOT facts! Where are the stats for Sidwell?
2. Harvard would not admit no more than 10 students from Whitman, even though way more than 10 would qualify. Hence limited admittance.
Gosh you're slow and clueless.

When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.

The facts have been presented, you just don’t like them. I understand—I can’t imagine sending my child to a high school where students submit 40, 50, 60+ applications to certain colleges, and ZERO students are admitted.

You don’t have the range or intellect for this discussion. Try to enjoy the rest of your day.

Such a great point! I mean, Whitman students, living in one of the most affluent school districts around, can't possibly be Ivy legacies too.

I’m more interested in ivy admissions anywhere that disaggregate legacy students admitted. I didn’t go to an ivy. I went to public high school no where near this area. Just curious how many admits anywhere (public or private) are legacies. Frankly, I’m a bit scared for my kids since I don’t know what it takes to get kids into good schools (again, not focused on ivies).

Would be great to know that too!

Not at all.

Yes, it’s a much better educational experience.

It's an inferior academic product

That’s your baseless opinion. What’s important is that colleges agree with me. As posted upthread, “Sidwell consistently sends a higher percentage of graduates to Ivy+ colleges than the W schools.”

Facts are facts, and opinions are like
a-holes…

What facts did you just show with your link? Did it show that "Sidwell consistently sends a higher percentage of graduates to Ivy+ colleges than the W schools"? Do you know what fact is, a-hole?
Idiot

You clearly struggle with reading comprehension. You must be a W school graduate. 😝

Again where in the link it shows that "Sidwell consistently sends a higher percentage of graduates to Ivy+ colleges than the W schools"?
Help me out

Did you click on the link? I’ll make it easy, just focus on Ivies. Select every W school, look at the number of applicants to each Ivy, and then look at the number of students admitted—simple math. Next, compare those numbers to Sidwell’s c/o ‘23 (about 80-85% of graduating seniors posted on Instagram). Sidwell’s posts only include matriculants to specific colleges. There are several Sidwell students who are admitted to more than one Ivy every year. Despite that fact, Sidwell sent/sends/will send a much larger percentage of students to Ivies than any of the W schools.

Yes and the link doesn't show the "fact" that "Sidwell consistently sends a higher percentage of graduates to Ivy+ colleges than the W schools". In fact the link doesn't have anything to do with Sidwell, much less showing your so-called facts. You clearly don't understand facts.
You're clearly not too bright.

Sticks and stones, dear.

I see those poor public W school matriculation stats have upset you. I cannot relate—lol.

Of course you cannot relate. We have more matriculations than you, without having to pay $50,000+ a year.
Like I said, you're not too bright.

Oh, I see you don’t understand how percentages work. I knew you were a W(oeful) grad—lol.

Cheer up, your children are used to public school, so they will feel right at home at Maryland state universities. It’s a good thing you didn’t “waste” your money paying for your children’s education at a W school. Based on these W(oeful) admissions stats, you would be absolutely enraged.

Let’s use Whitman as an example.
#Applications/#Admitted:

1. Brown: 41/0
2. Columbia: 29/0
3. Cornell: 67/3
4. Dartmouth: 20/0
5. Harvard: 28/0
6. Princeton: 25/2
7. UPenn: 63/3
8. Yale: 33/3
Total = 306/11

Whitman seniors submitted 306 applications to the Ivies, but only 11 students were admitted. That’s a 3.5% admissions rate!

On the other hand, this is how they fared at Salisbury (27/22); UMBC (148/130); and UMD (386/243).

Like I said earlier, I can’t relate. Sidwell can’t relate either because they send at LEAST 15-25% of their students to Ivies EVERY year (not to mention the total number of admits). Good luck!

But how many of the sidwell students admitted are legacies?

I don’t know. How many of 11 Whitman students admitted were legacies?

Would be great to know that too!

Can y’all start another thread and stop trying to hijack this one?
