[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are saying there is not any non-hooked NCS kid going to a top 20 school besides Chicago, and none to a top SLAC? That seems hard to believe. [/quote]

Schools which ZERO NCS are attending girls next year:

Duke
Hopkins
Northwestern
Vanderbilt
Wash U
Rice
Notre Dame
Emory 
Cal 
UVA
USC
Tufts
Carnegie Mellon
MIT

You have the Ivies and Stanford (all girls are hooked but one Ivy and one Stanford) and then the U Chicago admits. 
One to UCLA, one to Michigan

That's it for top 40 admits for the class.

I swear, I am not caught up in prestige but this is a bit extreme.

That is surprising. What about Amherst, Williams, Bowdoin, Pomona, Swarthmore and other top SLACs?[/quote]

I am not sure why, but I think that compared to some of the other area privates, fewer NCS girls apply to SLACs, top and otherwise. I am sure some do, but we asked this question of college guidance once, and not that many apply ED, or even in RD. I think that given the size of the school, a lot of girls end up looking for something larger for college.[/quote]
 This is surprising to me. I know of a NCS girl going to Williams.[/quote]

I am sure there are some girls who attend these schools, but if you look on SCOIR for many of the SLACs, including Williams, there are not enough applicants to even create a scattergram. And I know this year there are girls going to Pomona and Colby and probably some other SLACs, but generally speaking the SLACs do not seem as popular with NCS girls as they are with some other schools. If they aren’t applying, they aren’t getting in. [/quote]
