I think that wealth or geographic location determine to a large degree where most children attend schools in almost every country. If you are aware of a country where those factors do not, please name them.

Nowhere else in the world are college tuition fees so exhorbitantly high compared to the average person’s income. Please name those countries where the ability to pay, aka «  ED », impacts your kid’s access to the best education.
No other country has advertised themselves to the extent the Us of A have. « American Dream ». Truly that. A dream.

Anyway the point of my post was really for all of us to stop the insanity with Big 3 and Whitman and Churchill and who got the best outcomes. Same people and same privileged bubbles really.

I feel like it was Holton and Bullis.

Can you stop already with the Bullis? Yes, the detailed list was impressive but it’s very likely that included multiple acceptances by same students. When comparing apples to apples, they are not close to Sidwell, GDS, Holton, NCS, or even Maret.

You're telling me you trust the instagram info over the transparent, clear and direct info from the actual school???

The Instagram page is where the kids are actually going to school and not listing all the schools they were accepted at. So that is a more accurate picture of the schools they are attending. We are a Bullis family and love that the acceptances run the gamut. That’s the beauty of Bullis. We are not a pressure cooker and they can challenge and support various types of learners.

What are you talking about. They're all great schools. Your comment is weird from a supposed "Bullis Parent."

I never said they weren’t great schools. However, you have everything from George Mason and Coastal Carolina, to small privates, to Harvard and Hopkins. It’s not just the top schools and that is what makes Bullis awesome. This narrative that either the school or parents are trying to push about being the new Sidwell is so weird and will backfire on us. We should embrace how beautifully diverse we are and push that narrative instead.

Okay, fake bullis mom.

What’s your deal? Are you a Bullis parent? I seriously hope not, because it’s people like you who give us the reputation we have.

Can someone please go through these pages and then provide highlights or brief summaries for each private school?

For everyone arguing about which list is the most impressive, I think you need to realize that these are student reported and a lot of kids/families prefer to keep that off public instagram, particularly if it includes their name or current photo. I know things are searchable other ways but this is definitely the case at our school. We had one of those shirt photo days last week and I saw 2 harvards, 2 Williams, 1 Cornell, 2 Stanford, 2 MIT, Yale, etc, yet none of these kids are on the insta page, so if you are actually deciding which high schools to apply to our basing any decisions on these silly pages, don’t.

BS.

It may not be. My daughter's friend at her Catholic high school (one that many people think is just a "public school with crosses on the wall") turned down Duke because she got a full ride somewhere else.

BS.

? Why the doubt? School wasn’t even mentioned so how would you know it’s not true. Many kids apply to schools hoping for financial or merit aid that doesn’t come thru and have to make alternative choices. My niece turned down UCLA for this reason. Called them begging to reconsider financial aid. She is going to UMD. It sucks.

I'm a new PP - sorry your niece's disappointment but if she was looking for $$$ UCLA is not the place. They focus financial support on CA residents.

My guess is that with the 10 application limit, it’s seen as a good solid safety. If they don’t get into Michigan, CO is a good option. I’m guessing there would be far fewer kids going there if they allowed more apps per kid

It’s also a top 10 school for future teachers. This makes it popular with education majors.

Boulder is a very high price tag for someone with a career goal as a teacher.......

The lists aren’t complete on Instagram but I counted 15 ivies/MIT/Stanford decisions on Sidwell’s page and 4 or 5 on the Bullis page.
