Would expect nothing less from the best private in Virginia.

Ace is the best private in VA. Here is the proof https://go.myschoolace.com/?utm_source=google%20ads&utm_medium=search%20campaign&utm_campaign=Private%20School%20Campaign&gclid=CjwKCAjw586hBhBrEiwAQYEnHZveHZ-6t_MqEyeYJ4I5jz7oDJYtbzbuYrAE-dy3lbSQAVSYRsCW0RoCmXYQAvD_BwE https://go.myschoolace.com/?utm_source=google%20ads&utm_medium=search%20campaign&utm_campaign=Private%20School%20Campaign&gclid=CjwKCAjw586hBhBrEiwAQYEnHZveHZ-6t_MqEyeYJ4I5jz7oDJYtbzbuYrAE-dy3lbSQAVSYRsCW0RoCmXYQAvD_BwE

I would imagine CVS has seen a recent uptick in anxiety meds, judging by this thread. Only in the DC area.

Check out Spenceseniors23. Puts all DC area schools to shame. Granted, there are some prominent names in there.

I mean, maybe Andover 20 years ago, but at this point, and particularly post COVD, it simply isn't possible.

Add to it, a lot of kids want a different collegiate experience from their "big3" type high school experience. That is why you see a lot of schools like Clemson, Boulder, Pitt etc on the matriculation lists.

Doesn’t matter where you go when you’re rich, connected, and have an elite private k-12 education. Clemson and Michigan aren’t the same experience for these kids. The big 3 kid gets into an elite sorority or fraternity proles can’t get into, only mixes with rich peers, cruises to graduation with a 3.9 gpa, and lands a cushy six figure job with a rich connection (if they don’t go to med or law school).

Isn’t the same true for kids that go to Potomac, Bullis, and the 2nd tier schools that cost 50,000 per year?

Perhaps, but those schools don’t have the cachet of the Big 3 DC schools. Most people will ask where’s Potomac? Why is it in VA? What’s a Bullis? Never heard of it.

Let’s be honest, when people hear that you graduated from Sidwell/NCS/STA (and maybe GDS) they think “rich and smart.” Many people think “rich and dumb” when they hear Bullis. I’m not saying it’s true…it’s more perception.

Outside of the DC area private school community, nobody cares about “Big 3” either.

Some of you really do overestimate your importance.

Sure Jan. No one outside of DC cares or has heard of Sidwell.

I guess The NY Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/29/us/prep-schools-coronavirus-loans.html);
LA Times (https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-04-30/coronavirus-private-schools-ppp-loans); and
that filthy London rag haven’t received the memo that no one cares about Sidwell or what’s happening there! (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9839755/amp/Parents-oppose-CRT-white-like-Capitol-rioters-says-head-66k-year-DC-school.html)

Wow, I've never seen a list like Spence's.
Outside of the Oberlin and 2 Skidmores I think the entire class is in to top 20 schools (almost top 15).

I am surprised they don't have anyone admitted to Stanford, usually 3 girls go to Stanford. Maybe those girls have not yet posted. The school is wonderful, I have nieces who go there.

Wow.

I'm an Ivy grad and 15 years ago the DC schools dcurbanmom seem to be obsessed with are simply not known outside of this bubble with the exception of Sidwell. To compare them with some of the top schools in the US and internationally is ridiculous. It's sometimes laughable to see what we all go through. Yet here we are. And trust me my friends from college who went to Spense would not be looking and obsessing on a list serve. There is something about this area that makes us all doubt our schools & choices that we have to constantly get affirmation from strangers. Maybe it's the water.

is it also the water that makes you note that you are an "Ivy grad"? i assume a lesser Ivy otherwise you'd note that you were a HYP grad.

But my DC posted on one of them and I’m pretty sure DC and their friends did not think random adults would be looking at these pages and judging them. The kids do these pages for themselves and their friends. Not a bunch of creepy and desperate adults.

Then your kid isn’t too bright. Mine refused to post because “I don’t need every random person to see my picture.”

What’s the instagram for St. John’s?
