[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell is sending 38/90 posted kids to top20 schools.  42%!
NCS is sending 17/81 girls from those posted and a few yet to post.  21%.  It's not for lack of trying--my DC knows quite a number of girls who were shut out from Ivies and all top20s with 3.8-3.95 GPAs.

GDS is 23/110.  Also 21%.

Why is Sidwell at literally [b]twice[/b] the percentage?  It doesn't seem to be athletes.. 
Is a 3.85 from Sidwell viewed as so much stronger than a 3.85 from NCS or GDS?
College counseling better?
What gives?
Just curious.  My DC is on deck for next year. [/quote]

Gds has a much higher percentage of students reporting. The Sidwell students not going to top 20 schools could be less likely to report than the equivalent students at gds because of differences in school culture.[/quote]

There is actually a higher percentage of SFS seniors reporting on instagram than in recent years...and there are plenty of kids who don't report who are going to "top" schools.[/quote]
