Look at the thread’s title. GDS isn’t a Big 3 school.

NCS SCOIR does not show H,Y, or M but average GPA of Princeton admit is 3.99 and average for Stanford is 3.92. So, you can essentially get one A- in all of high school.

Not without hooks. Yes with hooks.

I personally know an UNHOOKED 2024 Sidwell grad going to an Ivy with a GPA in the very low 3.8 range.

Guess how many with high 3.8 and rigor that do not get into T20? Many.

You don't know what essays and ECs were like. GPA is not the only factor.

yes, SCOIR for NCS is scary. Vanderbilt, Duke, Rice, etc. You basically need a 3.98. One A- max over 4 years and it can only be in a semester long course (not a full year). There are really only 1 or 2 girls per grade who qualify for these schools.

That’s definitely not the case at GDS, STA, and Sidwell. Students from those schools consistently get into those colleges with cumulative 3.80 to 3.90 GPAs.

What’s going on at NCS?!?

I’m not sure how many were admitted, but 4 Sidwell students will be freshman at Harvard this fall.

No, the average GPA is 3.5. If anything NCS grades are deflated even relative to Sidwell, STA, GDS.
As I said, only 1-3 girls in a class are even in the 3.95+ Duke, Vanderbilt, Rice, H, Y, P, band.
If SCOIR is to believed, these schools are off the table to everyone else.

My kid has a 3.86/1550 and per NCS SCOIR she is in the Boston College, Colgate, Davidson type band. Pretty much all the top 25 universities are above her pay grade (i.e. the star representing her stats is in a sea of red denials). Which means they're really only available to girls in the top 10% of the class. It's sobering.
Can any other NCS parent comment? I'm confused by this whole thing.

There is little to no grade inflation at NCS.
