[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP. that list is helpful.   The results are fine but certainly nothing to brag about. A lot of those schools will take just about anybody.[/quote]

That was the class of 2018.

The "well-known/relatively more selective schools" I've heard of so far (not more are coming out later in March) for this year's graduates include:

Barnard 
Cambridge
Oxford
Grinnell 
Kenyon 
Purdue Engineering 
US Naval Academy
Univ of Edinburgh

Interesting that they had at least 2 different kids applying to UK schools (Oxbridge & Edinburgh). Seems sort of unusual for the area. I wonder what the link is.[/quote]

Kids who know what they want to study and are eager to finish their degree in 3 years, saving $$ over schools in the US?

One student in the class of 2018 is enrolled in Spain. Seems overseas universities are popular among those kids.

My DC is graduating from BASIS this year and seriously considered McGill and U of Toronto but decided not to in the end.[/quote]

I don't disagree. My husband is actually a Cambridge grad, so we've always thought that this might be an option for our DD. But whereas I've seen Canadian schools on lots of DC college destination lists, I've only seen UK schools a handful of times... so at least 2 different students applying from a small class seemed unusual and I wondered if there was some teacher/administrator with a connection.[/quote]
