“Cumulative numbers”? No, thanks!

What’s wrong with cumulative numbers?

Cumulative numbers can hide important changes and trends—it doesn’t tell the current story. For example, all 4 Penn admits may have happened 4 years ago. There have been zero Penn admits for 3 years. If I’m a STA student (or prospective student) interested in Penn, I would like to know this information.

You are a shit stirrer and won’t get into STA so no worries there.

You are incorrect. There were 2 STA admits last year.

Lol—I don’t want to be admitted to STA. I’m a parent and I have daughters. My oldest daughter applied and was admitted to NCS. Thankfully, she was admitted to her top choice coed private, so she declined NCS’ offer. My youngest daughter didn’t apply to NCS because, after the first admissions cycle with my oldest daughter, I wasn’t impressed with the Cathedral Schools.

I hope that you enjoy that joyless, stifling environment though. It seems like a good fit for you.

Good riddance! I highly doubt she was admitted.

I don’t have anything to prove to you. Believe it or not. Thankfully, she attends a much better school.

Show us the receipts or it didn’t happen. Did I get that right?

Like I said, I don’t have anything to prove. However, I will share (for kicks and giggles) a funny NCS story. NCS didn’t offer a shadow day before my oldest daughter was admitted. After she was admitted, she was sent a shadow day invitation. It included a program at the National Cathedral. I just looked at the email—it’s referred to as “School Cathedral.” However, the shadow day did not include lunch. It was the ONLY school she considered that didn’t include lunch because the shadow day started at 8 am and ended at 11:15 am! She was already over NCS, but that was the final straw. She refused to attend the shadow day, saying she had seen enough.

Btw, another all girls school that admitted her, Holton-Arms, had a fabulous shadow day. As a matter of fact, Holton is an amazing school. It’s just a bit too far away from our house.

Oh my gosh I think NCS really dodged a nutcase here if true. Thank goodness you didn't end up at NCS but I agree with previous posters I also doubt your daughter was accepted. Don't believe you.

Lol—ok NCS mom. Believe or not Life will go on, and the earth will keep spinning.

Probably for the best. Based on your writing style and your bizarre thinking and chip on your shoulder I don't think your daughter would have fit in. This sort of low brow behavior isn't the norm at NCS. It has a high class vibe and terms like "receipts" and some ofter choice language is not used by adults there.

It’s definitely for the best that she doesn’t attend NCS. Based on the school’s reputation as a place of perpetual misery, I discouraged her from applying. However, I eventually relented and allowed her to apply. Thankfully, she discovered what I already knew about the school.

If you think NCS has a high class vibe, that says a lot about you—lol. Enjoy your time at NCS.

Thanks, both of my daughters love Sidwell! I’m not sure what terms are commonly heard on campus, but I’m happy they’re receiving a great education and they look forward to attending school everyday.

I hope your daughter enjoys her time at NCS, where tears and anxiety are common occurrences. Unsolicited advice: put some money aside for her future therapy bills.
Happy Holidays!

No “top” DMV privates are doing better than GDS and Sidwell, so far. Nice try though.

Potomac is doing quite well. Field is pulling above its weight given the overall class size. Maret's results are quite strong as well. And it seems that St. John's might have the only MIT admit?

The two of you are definitely doing your respective schools proud on this thread. Like a slow-motion car wreck where both drivers are criminally at fault. Just cannot look away. Your poor kids.

Yes, yes, we know they go to Sidwell and NCS and are the most wonderfulest girls in the WHOLE WORLD. Save it.

Enjoy wherever it is that "receipts" and "kicks and giggles" is common language.

Thanks, both of my daughters love Sidwell! I’m not sure what terms are commonly heard on campus, but I’m happy they’re receiving a great education and they look forward to attending school everyday.

I hope your daughter enjoys her time at NCS, where tears and anxiety are common occurrences. Unsolicited advice: put some money aside for her future therapy bills.
Happy Holidays!

Wow - let’s mock teen mental health issues. Covering yourself in glory here.

The two of you are definitely doing your respective schools proud on this thread. Like a slow-motion car wreck where both drivers are criminally at fault. Just cannot look away. Your poor kids.

Yes, yes, we know they go to Sidwell and NCS and are the most wonderfulest girls in the WHOLE WORLD. Save it.

Nah it started between an STA parent and the other crazy parent that claims to have a child at Sidwell. Others chimed in....
