[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard the opposite. [b]Strong early results for Sidwel[/b]l. Difference is they don’t seem to talk it up much as there is an unspoken attempt to downplay things a bit until more of the class has heard back from RD applications. I actually think that is quite a nice thing to do and wish my DS’ school was similar where kids already wearing Yale and Penn tee-shirts which I personally find obnoxious. [/quote]

Unfortunately, early results are not very strong for this year's seniors at SFS.  Parents have lost confidence in the college counseling office.  At least half the senior class has hired private college counselors, and junior parents are already lining up the same for next year.  A basic revamp/restructuring of the college function is needed urgently.[/quote]

Well if SFS is top dog in the area and the Ivies already know it, and if SFS offers the darnedest best courses towering over even the top Ivy Freshman/Sophomore courses, the students are near geniuses if not already are and have stellar ECs that only money can buy (e.g. service only in far away overseas places or private coaching by top dog professional sports coaches), and if external, private college coaches that demand sea of green before offer their expert concierge service to the gates to the top echelon of Ivies to said students, it is mind boggling to think the EA/ED results will be anything but Holiday Celebratory.  How could you say the results aren't very strong for this year's seniors at SFS?  Could you be more specific by stating the results you know of (may be you don't know only a small fraction of the results!).[/quote]
