Why are you so obsessed about where kids you don't know go to college?

You talk about "youth mental health" and how the college process has gone off the rails and is harming kids and then can't stop yourselves from obsessing endlessly about the destinations of strangers.

These lists are especially helpful for private school parents who are considering high school choices for their middle school kids. This didn't exist when we were in the process...all we had was lists procured for the profiles, which typically isn't a comprehensive list showing one year of matriculations.

You need help. You need a serious mental health evaluation.

An x indicates that the kids haven’t set up an account yet or they are using a different naming convention than last year. Please share any updates/additions/corrections.

Congrats to all of our amazing kids! 🎉🎉

There's already a 2026 thread for kids and parents who have heard decisions to share their jubilation: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1299847.page
Who cares from what high school they attend.

Stop this obsession with the undergrad admissions. It’s stupidity. Wiser parents have been advising their kids to find colleges that are better value and fit to keep finances comfortable when important things come up in later years. I know parents and students that have regretted their 90k/year ED acceptances.

You talk about "youth mental health" and how the college process has gone off the rails and is harming kids and then can't stop yourselves from obsessing endlessly about the destinations of strangers.

I care about the kids we *do* know. We don’t keep in touch with all of my kids’ old friends from preschool, ES, MS, various activities, teams, etc. but I’d love to hear where they’re heading.

Look at YOUR kid's school's Naviance. If they don't have naviance, go advocate for school to use it.

Why? That is creepy. If you don't keep in touch with them and didn't over the years, then you do not need to know where those not-in-preschool-kids are headed. Ick.

DP. Did you read the PP’s comment?

You don’t have access to Naviance before your kids are admitted.

Ask your kid or your friends from back then if you’re so curious moron.

It’s the updated list from last year. If you have more schools to add, please share.

Last year they had Catholic schools. OP, deleted them.

Ok. I guess I’m creepy then.

I’m excited for these kids we knew at various points in our lives.

+1 we haven’t even gotten to RD deadlines yet. No wonder these kids feel so much pressure. Everyone just chill.

It’s exactly why our HS waits. They make a stressful process feel relatively chill for the kids. Great counseling team.

I didn’t intentionally delete anything. That was just the list I had saved. Feel free to add links.

NO they're not not. Having had kids in Big3 classes of 2024 and 2025, the results of a current senior class are COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT to where any one 8th grader can hope to go to college. There are so many hooks, back-door admissions, favors pulled and other crap that if you believe that your child will go to "insert top20 college here" because 2 kids from the class of 2026 went there then I have a few bridges to sell you.
Seriously. Do yourself a favor and your kid a GIANT favor and stop.
