List of Insta matriculation pages?

You all keep saying better prepared. My neighbors kid who goes to public seems pretty prepared to me. She just won a national writing contest and got ED into Yale. She’s constantly involved in activities around social justice and is on her schools speech and debate team. Shes friendly with my kids and they do there is crossover in the neighborhood social groups from school since they all grew up together. I’m trying to say that I do know many of these kids. Public kids don’t seem to be suffering academically or intellectually or in unpreparedness in any way. Her older sibling actually tutors area kids in the summer for math and writing and college prep. Parents went to non-Ivy League schools and are very comfortable but not at the upper echelon of caliber that I see have private. I’m just questioning what better prepared means. My kid has a lot of Homework and he’s also in a much much smaller school and smaller class ratios I still don’t see how that prepare somebody better - again I’m all for private and we can afford it but that’s just one argument that I keep hearing over and over that doesn’t make sense to me - please explain more of what you mean.

It’s easier for a kid to hide in a large school with 35 kids in a classroom and only one teacher.

Better prepared means they learn the value of working very hard and not always getting what they want from the hard work. Also having adults see them so they can't get into as much teen trouble. So when they get to college they can deal with the work load. Not so sure how that later pans out once they are in the big world on their own. That one actually worries me more. My kid is stressed when he gets a B. And since he does have a B I guess it may knock us out of his dream schools. I better stop typing. It's making me feel worse. I don't want a stressed kid.

It’s just too bad she couldn’t get into Harvard. Maybe if she went to a private she wouldn’t have had to settle for a safety school

Are you kidding me? You people are delusional if you think that’s OK. I’m not talking about for a B student I’m talking about these kids getting A’s and high scores. This shows me no difference now between the different rated private or public high schools.

Have you seen the posts for “top rated” publics this year? Students from McLean, Langley and Chuchill wish they were going to NYU in large numbers. Instead, many of their top students are ending up at UMD, VT, and directional state universities. It’s a new day.

This is relatively surprising considering how strong GDS was doing at the start. It looked like GDS would solidly outperform them, but Sidwell is on a hot streak now. Doing very very well at T20s and some strong LACs as well - Pomona, Hamilton, Carleton, Hamilton, Midd

So what?
GDS outperformed Sidwell last year. Holton’s college outcomes are better than NCS this year, based on the instagram posts. Way too soon to call a trend.
The private schools kids will be fine!

GDS did not outperform Sidwell last year. However, the outcomes were much closer than they are this year.

Are there really people on this forum that don’t understand how the internet and social media work in this day and age? Anything posted publicly is available for public consumption. Not even close to stalking!

Stalker, stop making excuses for your desperate behavior. It makes you sound even more unstable.

Unfortunately the college admissions officials all know of the shenanigans of public school students today with their easy A's (89.5 plus 79.5 equals A for semester). Kids in public gaming the system to get grossly inflated As. It is difficult for them to know they ones who have truly mastered the material. Private schools don't have those issues because they know those students really earned those As.

NP. When you’re googling the parents LinkedIn to figure out if the kid has a hook, it crosses into stalker-like behavior.

Maybe go to a college that your parents didn’t attend or donate a building to, then.

And Holton did not outperform NCS this year—lots of Holton’s good results are only due to athletic commits.

Yes, they did. As an objective outsider they are certainly doing better, even without their athletic commits

NCS doesn’t have sports?
