Class of '26 Instagram College Decisions

[Anonymous]

Fieldston 141 11/141 (7.8%) 30/141 (21.3%) 40/141 (28.4%) @fieldstonseniors2026

The results are very mediocre looking at that list relative to what i would have expected.

From a quick look, honestly like 30 placements that seem weak - Kean University? U Albany? U maryland?

and this doesn't include the tons of BC, Colgates, Lehigh which are good in my mind but would be viewed negatively by some here.

Trevor i think is 18% using the Ivy Plus

CGPS is 23%.

CGPS is king of the state schools, i think like 16% of the class is going to either U Texas or U Michigan or Berkley

Maybe they don’t counsel out as much? Everyone seems to be raving about Brearley, but we know someone who left during middle school and went to a lower level school. They likely got counseled out. So to me, Fieldston’s list is good because they seem to educate a wide range of students.

This. Would put Browning in this bucket of schools that will work with different types of students. DDs are at all-girls, but we hear a lot of good things from families with boys there. Small class, but looks like over 40% Ivy+ this year.

where is this from?

wierd that they would not include like Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore in the Ivy+ category.

Those plus Pomona are sometimes called WASP on here. Ivy equivalent yes. But ivy plus I think doesn’t include LACs.

They don’t share on IG. And they don’t even create an exact list for the parents or alumni mag.

They’re above that sort of thing. Brotherhood and all.

Zero chance their class is 40% Ivy plus. Make the lie believable, like 10%

I've heard some boys call Collegiate the sisterhood. Interpret that as you wish.

It is actually quite impressive but only 27 kids are posted. Eight are Ivies, plus a few Chicago's Emory, Bowdoin, Georgetown, Claremont-McKenna.

How big is the school? Last year only 31 posted. Similar results. Browning looks more diverse than most peer schools.

Depends actually how you want to view it. If they are keeping someone around who got in k due to a playdate and parents resume - is that fair to the other kids?

Not to let this get out of control but I would add Rice if you have Hopkins, NW and Vandy. Generally doesn't draw a lot of kids from the area but there are occasionally a few. And Bowdoin to the WASPs.

i would put the Ivy+ WASP at the end. and actually take out the IVY+ S+M - just too similar. I would then have t30 which includes some of the top state schools, Georgetown, Emory, Rice, WashU. and maybe 1-2 other LAC

thanks

Got to put Trevor in there just to make it exciting. And Nightingale.
