Sidwell has Columbia now. |
Sidwell has MIT too, but I’m only referencing the c/o 2025 IG posts. |

As the parent of a Sidwell alum and an upper school student, I’ve got to say that these posts are gross. Get over yourselves and grow up. |
Any adult who refers to these posts as “gross” needs to grow up. Pot meet kettle. P.S. Your child isn’t a Sidwell alum and/or you’re very unhappy about the colleges that chose your child. Your post reeks of misery. |
Weird post. Hard to believe that you are an adult. |
Gross is actually an appropriate and excellent word to use here. Too bad for you that your appreciation of English is so narrow and unrefined. Sorry you don’t believe me that I’m a parent of a Sidwell alum. How should I prove it to you? You want me to tell you the name of the graduation speaker when my kid graduated? Or how about I give you the current upper school principal’s cell phone #? (You may not know who he is, since I’m guessing you’re a lower school parent, if you’re a parent at all.) As for my alum child, they got in ED to an Ivy. Doesn’t make it any less gross for parents to be talking on a public forum about kids’ college placement results in the crass way that you’ve been doing. |
Why are adult women stalking children? To then gaslight that this is normal is even crazier. |
No, what’s hard to believe is that adults are talking about kids’ college results as if they’re the basis for high school bragging rights in some sort of weird contest. |
This is one of the most exciting times in anyone’s life, for the parents and the students. Yes, it can be stressful. But mostly it’s exciting and transformational. Of course parents want to talk about it, it would be weird not to! I get excited for the kids I don’t even know! |
Stalking?! Public pages? These kids are proud and want people to see and celebrate their accomplishments. Go be grumpy somewhere else. |
Yes stalking. You can also go to any public park, doesn’t make you any less of a creep for standing and watching. |
Robbie Gross is the current US principal, and your child most definitely was not admitted to an Ivy (nor any college you’re happy about). Once again, you sound miserable. Why do you insist on returning to a thread entitled, “HS college commitment websites” to scold people?!? Don’t click on this link if you find the topic so objectionable. We’re going to continue to talk about college placement results, whether you approve or not. Move along! |
I agree that it’s exciting! By all means, talk about it with the parents you know! What’s weird are these discussions about college results on a public forum. Along with the GDS vs Sidwell jousting that is going on, as if the relative worth of these schools (and their parents) is somehow determined through college placement results at a small group of colleges. |
