[quote=Anonymous]"Actually what's interesting about this to me is that Sidwell presumably has tons of 99th percentile kids applying to the upper grades -- notwithstanding the valid point that SSAT scores are more disperse than WPPSI scores, still the applicants are a pretty self-selected group of families that think they have a chance. " Sidwell cherry-picks its kids based on scores and parental power because they want to manipulate their final numbers: merit scholars and Ivy acceptances. Like the Ivies, they want to impress with their stats and change the world with their graduates; nurturing the lives of their students is only a secondary consideration. [/quote]
