What happened to Maret college placement?

[Anonymous]

I have been following the school for a while and current matriculation seems rather blah. It's one kid per school more or less. How does that get decided if a bunch of kids want to apply to U Michigan or Harvard and only one gets in? Is it very political at the school?

You do understand that kids apply to colleges and then college admission offices decide whom to admit, right? That the high school isn't choosing?

Why do you care? Is your child there?

Seems like the bottom fell out this year.

Let me introduce you to the concept of the private school counselor —-> college admissions office relationship.

College admissions is only going to be more challenging for everyone.

Gone are the days 30% of a class goes to Ivies.

That's still the case at GDS, but they are exceptional in that respect.

OMG, GDS booster. You can be spotted a mile away. Enough already. When someone is constantly trying to boost own reputation, it not only smacks of insecurity but also implies an underlying problem. We all know this year was not a good year for admissions. Just accept it and move on.

That's not a GDS booster, it's the GDS troll pretending to be a booster.

Haha...not even sure why DCUM has more GDS boosters than other schools. Maybe it's their inferiority complex??

I would love to see matriculation (not acceptance) data for these schools that accounts for legacy status and athletic recruitment. Off topic, I know. But still.

Boastful yet needy at the same time.
