[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Supporting girls who are +2200 on the SATs with strong legacies is hardly difficult and it's true that NCS tends to mishandle other students trying to fit them into any number of easily available small liberal arts college slots.  While we were there the  staff sent out a number of newsletters regarding exploratory trips they had taken to tour colleges that no NCS grad. had ever attended and were extremely unlikely to to in the future.  They have a slightly strange process by which teachers do not author the letters of recommendation.       [/quote]

Um this isn't accurate, at least the teacher rec letter part... I don't think NCS mishandles the non 2200+ legacy kids either, they are just realistic about what colleges kids can get into and what they can't.  It was good for my daughter to be told UVA realistically wasn't going to be an option even though she was a hardworking kid with good grades and scores.  They took time to make her think about other fits what would be better and more realistic given her portfolio.  She is very happy at another top school.[/quote]
