No, it’s not. Georgia parent. There are kids from both full pay and donut hole families, who could go to a T10 but prefer what UGA or GA Tech offer- especially it if means saving $300,000.00. |
Those don’t attend Westminster. |
STA MAGA Mom calling someone racist is peak lack of introspection. 😂 You’re right, the extremely mediocre ECSU is located in NC, not Maryland. My point still stands. It’s not even the best HBCU in NC. That honor goes to NCAT. Admit you’re a racist with low expectations for Black students. It’s laughable that you’re trying to convince us that ECSU is a good university just because it’s an HBCU. I bet you wouldn’t send your STA-educated son there, even if he was from NC and wants to play football. 🙄 Once again, STA’s Ivy count isn’t impressive. That school isn’t sending 25 kids to Ivies this year. Period. However, they’re probably sending at least 10 to UChicago. With its money woes and MAGA faculty members, UChicago welcomes full pay conservative private school students like STA boys. |
Actually, no. And Georgia Tech in particular is an outstanding option. I also know quite a few UMC families who decided on the full rides to state flagships over dropping $400,000 on T-10 schools. I think that's increasingly a reality these days. Maybe not for Sidwell Friends or GDS families. But that is very much the case for families that work for a living. |
| Ga Tech has a great fight song don’t know too many grads. For the 50-70k a year families pay for private high schools makes sense to look at colleges with great outcomes. Can’t beat HYP, Wharton and Dartmouth from Ivies. Add in the Dukies and Stanford. From top LAC’s: Williams, Bowdoin and Amherst. Finally for Catholic schools Notre Dame and Holy Cross. Don’t get the appeal not liberal schools like Tufts, Vassar, Wesleyan, Bates, and Smith. |
| Duke is unbeatable(recent Final 4 exluded) 60 thousand applications this cycle. Blue Devils are hot look at the decline in applications for Harvard, Brown and Yale. Most kids like combo of great academics, sports, and weather hence Vandy ascending. |
| Duke and Vanderbilt’s test-optional policies have something to do with that, too. |
It is well established that extremely rigorous Uchicago >> Brown, Cornell ex comp sci, Columbia, Dartmouth….the latter are lowly Ivies …. |
Mmmkay. 🙄 |
Racist govcon mommie doesn’t seem to know anything about, let alone understand, college sports. This has nothing to do with low expectations for Black students, or even about the quality of the particular school, it’s about one kid’s football journey. Period. You got called out for commenting about something you knew nothing about and then dug yourself in deeper and deeper spewing nonsense along the way. Your stupid hypothetical comparisons to other schools fully reflect your total ignorance. The kid may have had only one relationship with one coach who wanted him as a quarterback. Hence, the school pick. Furthermore, your projection about low expectations for Black kids is more on you. This year’s STA class has kids getting going to MIT, Yale, West Point and getting paid to play sports at an SEC school, among others, and the school pushed for and expected those kind of results. 25/79 Ivys would be a stretch for any school but STA will land close to 20 with others going to Hopkins, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Amherst, Bowdoin, Chicago, Duke, Pomona, BC, Wesleyan, etc. Best part, you will never know the final results just like you don’t know how unwise you appear. |
TL;DR. However, the length of this post tells me that you need meds and/or talk therapy. Unclench and tell your therapist who hurt you. No one else cares. |

Anyone see the saintannsseniors2025 senior class IG reel?? NY private school.
Schools were impressive - but putting a face to the colleges was more interesting. |
It’s worth noting that the majority of these kids have declared majors such as art, dance, theatre, art history etc. Nothing wrong with that, just pointing it out because it helps with admissions. Saint Ann’s is known for being a progressive school with a strong focus on the arts. |
Fascinating. 4 to Harvard and 4 to Yale and 5 (?) to Williams....for a TINY class. |

This is common at the top NYC high schools. Check out the Insta accounts for the classes of 2025 at Trinity, Brearley, Collegiate, Dalton, Horace Mann… Impressive placement %s at Stuy too. I heard 60 (in a class of about 750) admitted at Cornell, 15 Yale etc.
NYC kids have amazing ECs because of access to top hospitals, Wall St, tech, law firms, Broadway, fashion, Lincoln Ctr & Carnegie for music and dance. You name it. I know of kids interning/working with Nobel laureates, Olympic gold medalists, Tony & Oscar winning directors who all live on NYC. |
