Why are you adding this mediocre PUBLIC high school, with its equally mediocre college matriculations, to this PRIVATE school thread?

Yes, why is just anyone allowed into our exclusionary gated community here on an anonymous free forum on the wide open internet!?!

PP, perhaps you could pay the mod $50k/yr to maintain your bubble?

Nah, I pay tuition to keep people like you away from my children. I don’t care about your celebration of mediocrity on this forum. It’s actually amusing, so carry on.

Your previous post shows you do care. If you don’t, why post? Twice.

Because I sometimes respond to posts about things I don’t care about. Just as people who don’t have children who attend private school/couldn’t afford to send them if they wanted to post on private school threads. It’s a free-ish country and who is going to stop me?

Three times.

Four times 😂
It’s a holiday weekend, so I have time today.

We get the sense you have time every day.

Damn. Not a great year for NCS.

They have great results. Out of a class of 80 they have 4 to Cornell, 4 to Chicago, 3 to UVA, 2 to Princeton, girls going to Yale, Brown, Dartmouth, Georgetown, Michigan, Duke, several to Boston College, Emory, St. Andrews, Tufts, several to Wake, several to top 10 liberal arts schools like: Bates, Bowdoin, Hamilton, etc...

And Harvard and Williams. Great year.

And no girls with perfect GPAs right? Agree, fantastic results.

NCS has fantastic results, but no one is going to Williams or Dartmouth. Lots of other great schools though.

You’re correct. I have lots of free time, a beautiful home, and my husband and I can easily afford two independent school tuitions (and fully-funded college funds). It’s great to be me! How are things going for you? 😊

With a class that size it would be pretty hard to have students going to every good school.

I think NCS results are excellent! Posters should keep in mind that a lot of colleges are 60% women and it is harder to get into those colleges as a woman. Especially for the LACs/SLACs. NCS results should be compared with Holton, Madeira, SR, & Visi.

NCS and Holton have comparable results this year.

3/4 of the class is going to top 25 schools. I just looked at their results. A few have not added to their instagrams btw - Ivy League and top 25 schools.

Actually you should take SR and VISI out of the equation considering these are Catholic schools and matriculations tend to be heavy to Catholic universities. Many of these girls have a very clear preference for Catholic schools and don't really consider other T20s or ivies. I know my daughter, who has very high stats (35 ACT and 4.0 UW GPA) is applying to a number of Catholic schools and hopes for ND or BC. Not inclined to try for any other top 20 schools, and her safeties are all Catholic schools. Lots of girls typically end up at BC, Georgetown, and ND.

If you look at those schools, about 28% ended up at Catholic universities and about 22% at top 25. When you have a population of girls who aren't really interested in T20 secular schools, you can't really compare with non-Catholic schools like Holton and NCS. All these schools prepare the girls well for college. It is just a preference of those student bodies. I didn't look at NCS, but Holton only had 10% go to Catholic schools. That's a huge difference.

Your numbers don’t add up. There are only 2 Catholic universities in the top 25: ND and Georgetown, and 20 percent of Visi or SR do not end up there. But keep telling yourself otherwise!

Adding some numbers for this year: SR has 2 girls going to ND, 2 to GT, and 5 to BC. Corresponding numbers for NCS are 3 to GT and 4 to BC. For HA, 3 to GT and 1 to ND.

LOL what are the chances of 25% ending up at 2 schools. Nice try though!

I'm guessing the Visi girls going to ND are on lax scholarship.

Why so negative? The previous poster was clear that the Visi and SR girls are prioritizing a Catholic school over rank. Direct comparison doesn’t make much sense.

I'd be pissed if I spent $50K a year on private school and my kid didnt get into Harvard or Yale. No one needs to go to private school in order to get into Northwestern.
