Feeder Schools into Ivy League

[Anonymous]

Oh, I answered my own question. It looks like it's 125 girls per grade or roughly 500 in the school.

NCS has a great number of Ivy admits this year, including one Dartmouth. 2 Yale. 2 Princeton. Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Penn. and one MIT. Not all are posted. That’s 10/71. Amazing numbers. And a very small minority of them are legacy.

Not that impressed. My DD's class at Visi had same number going to Ivies. Plus 12 more to Georgetown and Notre Dame.

Visi has about 40 percent more students so.....Percentage wise NCS admits a higher percentage to top 20 schools and Ivies.

By my rough math, isn't 125 like 75% more than 71?

Of course, but as a Catholic school Visi does not seek to admit only academically stellar students. Visi offers 3 different academic "tracks": AP, Honors, and College Prep, yet for those on the AP/Honors tracks, Visi seems to have similar comparable number of Ivy and top 20 admits.

It's disingenuous of you to ignore that a big chunk of NCS consists of lifers admitted when they were 3rd graders at Beauvoir with very limited academic track records.

By graduation there are only about 10 lifers left at NCS. The yearbook has a page every year about them and many years it's even less than 10.
Many transfer out to better fit schools along the way and others leave for boarding school or to move out of area.

It still belies your implication that NCS admits only academically stellar students.

Those universities have about an 8% admit rate ... that the admit rate for NCS students is a bit higher is hardly "amazing." Most NCS students still have only a poor chance of getting in.

By contrast, Colligiate in NY and St. Ann's in Brooklyn have a 50+% admit rate. That is "amazing."

Only 8 kids have gone to Dartmouth from this town in over 175 years.

Yep. the only girls who have a shot at The Ivies from NCS are the top 10% in the class and a few girls just a hair below this who are legacies with powerful parents.

th harsh reality is that 85% of the NCS class has zero chance at an Ivy--and yet they work incredibly hard and are super smart girls.

That’s your idea of harsh reality?

How is that relevant? You are in the wrong forum.

That seems appropriate to me (although more than 10% of the class are going to Ivies). If everyone could go that would kind of defeat the point.

Of course those numbers are "still way better than the top local publics." NCS is way more expensive and way more of a pressure cooker than the top local publics too.

The NCS costs and especially the pressure cookers atmosphere would not justify those numbers however.
