[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if your kid or any you know were admitted to Cal, UCLA, etc from a Big3, what do you think put them over the edge? I know these are hard admits under the private school paradigm of few APs, etc, [/quote] I don’t know any students at my children’s school (Sidwell) who talk about attending a UC. I’m sure there are some, it just hasn’t reached my ears. Generally speaking, I don’t think state schools are popular among Sidwell kids. [/quote] My son applied from Sidwell a couple of cycles ago. Denied. The problem is that a Sidwell GPA will never cut it in a sea of 4.8888888s, and GPA is literally the only thing UCs screen for now. That, and I think poverty. Michigan, Virginia and Wisconsin "get" the Sidwell situation. UCs and Texas do not. So, Ann Arbor is a more reliable admit than UC Santa Barbara, oddly. [/quote]
