[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an STA parents an I spent way too much time on Instagram and I'm surprised by the college admissions.  I probably saw 60-70% of the class and there are just a very small handful of Ivys (6?) and of course all but 2 (or even more) are athletic recruits or legacy or both. 
Which is fine.  But the rest isn't good either. 
There are a handful of Chicagos and a couple of other top 30 schools and then bam--the bottom falls out.  Lots of kids going to school ranked 50-100. (Then there are a bunch of kids that don't have anything posted on Instagram yet). 
What happened? I can't find ANY admits to places like Michigan, UCLA, Williams, Rice, Penn, Georgetown, Stanford, Hopkins, Wash U, Emory, Bowdoin, Wash and Lee and on and on.   Most of the half-decent admits (Pomona, Colgate) are athletic recruits. It really appears that almost all the non-athletes are going to schools ranked 50+.
GDS and Sidwell seem to be having very good years.  NCS is doing ok (not as good as GDS and Sidwell from what I can tell).  
Is this STA class just not strong academically?  Am I missing something?

I am an STA Parent as well and have no access to that sort of information on Instagram? How do you have that information?[/quote]
