Chiming in...my DD is one who was deferred EA and rejected RD. I will tell you that her gpa is 3.5-3.7 and ACT higher than 33. (Trying not to be too specific to completely out her. But not sure that anyone cares at this point) |
DP. So did anyone get in besides the one from earlier in the year? I am confused? Are you saying only one got in for EA, ED, EDII, and regular? |
I am so sorry. |
Yes. No girls got in ED 1 or 2. Our understanding is that there was one admit total between EA and RD. |
Two things: 1)grading in individual classes is easier. Holton a bit easier (there are parents with girls in both schools including a set of twins who will confirm this)and places like Stone Ridge and Holy Child--much easier. FAR more As are given. 2)Holton weighs GPAs for honors and AP equivalent courses. Stone Ridge does as well and actually offers a lot of AP courses. Girls at both of these schools can graduate with weighted GPAs above 4.0. I know NCS will say this doesn't matter (and that colleges don't look at weighted GPAs) but I think in this day of admissions officers having to look through so many applications it does. The bigger issue of the two is the first. Colleges ultimately don't care that NCS girls had to slave away for an 88% in English each year. They're happy to take the girl who got the far easier A at Holy Child. |
To PP whose daughter was rejected from Tulane. Without getting specifics - does she have other regular decisions that could come in or at least have any admittances early action from earlier in the year or is she completely without options at this point? |
Have you discussed this with the HOS? Yes or no? Otherwise posting here is useless. |
Okay so you have laid out a very dismal picture for 2025. We get it. Unless you have any concrete ideas or ways that NCS can help their class of 2025 I can't read these posts anymore because they are just so grim even though they seem to be true based on the pp post about only one girl getting into Tulane. Sigh. |
Tulane is very upfront about the emphasis they place on demonstrated interest and ED or EDII is one way to show that. I don't know if NCS had many or any who applied ED or EDII. |
None this year that I know of. This is super important for the class of 2025 to factor in. |
what about SLACs? Kenyon, Davidson, Carleton, Wesleyan? |
If you are an NCS parent you would have access to this information for last year's class??? Please look. |
Wow. Did Visi really have that many acceptances to GU last year??
Fascinating!! |
PP. I think some posters are NCS parents and some are not. Any NCS parent in the class of 2025, 2024, 2023 or above would have full access to this info for 2023's class results. This year is not finished yet. |
That is not surprising. Lots and lots of legacies. |
