Ok, i am nosey.

2 Princeton, Rice, 2 Middlebury, Northwestern, Duke, 2 Wesleyan, 2 Wash U, 2 Swarthmore, 2 Georgetown -- This is Bryn Mawr. Princeton x 2, Rice, Middlebury, Northwestern, Duke and Swarthmore are all athletic recruits.
Single sex private attended by opposite gender child: Harvard, Brown, Columbia, Amherst, Stanford, Hopkins, Chicago, Notre Dame, 2 Emory ---This is Gilman. Columbia, Amherst, Stanford and JHU are all athletic recruits.

Same story everywhere. The smartest kids who are non-athletes mostly go to WashU and Chicago.

Doesn’t mean they are the smartest, just that they’re accepted. Smarter kids could have been deferred or rejected by better schools

At least half are athletic recruits. A few are super smart, unhooked. Most of the top boys are not committed yet.

The STA senior class is great but I don’t think is at 20 Ivies, I think more like 12ish? And, as best I can tell, all but one Ivy SCEA/ED are sports, legacy or have siblings attending. Saying that, they are tremendously smart, deserving kids. There are a fair number of non-legacy, non-sport recruits in at top 20s or top SLACs.

What also is nice is the number of kids who are not in the top 20 of the class who have great ED choices such as BC, UVA, and Tulane.

And, as best I can tell, other local privates having similar good results.

yep, a Harvard and Brown. This is almost universally the case at a strong private in 2023--- the most accomplished kid or two in the grade pulls out an Ivy admit solely on academic qualifications.
I was just commenting that these posts listing many Ivy admits do not tell the whole story. They're hooked kids.

I moved from the Bay Area and have heard things have been very good again this year at Castilleja (as usual).

Bullying is not warranted but listing non-DC area school results on a DC-specific board is more than a little odd (even if it is only 95% DC area). You could start another thread with CA or West Coast early results very easily. Plenty of "DCUM blame" all around!

+1000. None of us care about admittances at your CA school.

DP. Do you know these schools and know that these are athletic recruits or just guessing?

ED is when the hooked kids are admitted, there will be more unhooked admissions in RD.

Maybe not the only, but a whole lot of Californians are here. This board is not a private conversation amongst locals.

I mean I think it’s a good data point. Are there differences between DC area admits and CA and if so why is an interesting question….

I have my kid in a Bay Area private and was unprepared for the faculty children admits to Stanford, including this set of twins my son called the “throw up twins.” They ruined so much upholstery at their friends’ parties that they started getting charged $75 to attend such parties. They were not very academic-minded but still got into Stanford because their parent was a faculty member.
