[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NCS SCOIR does not show H,Y, or M but average GPA of Princeton admit is 3.99 and average for Stanford is 3.92. So, you can essentially get one A- in all of high school.[/quote]

YIKES[/quote]

yes, SCOIR for NCS is scary.  Vanderbilt, Duke, Rice, etc.  You basically need a 3.98.  One A- max over 4 years and it can only be in a semester long course (not a full year).  There are really only 1 or 2 girls per grade who qualify for these schools.  [/quote]

That’s definitely not the case at GDS, STA, and Sidwell. Students from those schools consistently get into those colleges with cumulative 3.80 to 3.90 GPAs.

What’s going on at NCS?!?[/quote]

My kid has a 3.86/1550 and per NCS SCOIR she is in the Boston College, Colgate, Davidson type band.  Pretty much all the top 25 universities are above her pay grade (i.e. the star representing her stats is in a sea of red denials).  Which means they're really only available to girls in the top 10% of the class.  It's sobering.  
Can any other NCS parent comment?  I'm confused by this whole thing. [/quote]

If unhooked, she needs at least a 3.92 and 1580.

Sorry, OP, you should have opted for public.[/quote]

Hahahaha. What public school is sending this # of kids to any of these places?  You are doing drugs.  And they have just as many legacies and athletic recruits.  [/quote]

TJ plus the lots of the top public schools in the DMV.  TJ alone probably sends 30+ to HYPSM every year.

Everyone knows that your chances for HYPSM unhooked are better at public.[/quote]

TJ has about 500 students per class. That means it’s only sending about 6% of the class to HYPSM. That’s not a significantly larger percentage than top DC privates. TJ students are also having a less enjoyable experience (cutthroat lower/middle class striver classmates, meh facilities, and very few amenities). No thanks!

Btw, I would take Wharton over HYPSM any day. Those universities don’t have some greater inherent value than other top schools. [/quote]

You’re forgetting that I specified unhooked.  As I said, “ Everyone knows that your chances for HYPSM unhooked are better at public.”

[b]Almost all of the HYPSM admits at the Big 3 are hooked.[/b]

And no one picks Penn over HYPSM.

[/quote]

Absolute lies![b] Most of Sidwell’s HYPSM admits are not hooked.[/b] You know nothing about this world and it shows. Go back to the public school forum where you belong. [/quote]

This is not lies (I'm not the PP you were replying to). In my DC's class, they were all hooked but 1.[/quote]

What year did your child graduate from Sidwell? Define your version of “hooked.”

In this year’s class, I count at least 8 Sidwell ‘24 graduates without obvious hooks (not legacy or sports recruits). [b]URM is no longer a factor[/b] either, so give that a rest. [/quote]

I have a bridge to sell you![/quote]

I have facts and reality to educate you.

“Oddi, the Queens administrator, said her office made similar operational changes, redacting race reporting on applications and instructing readers not to consider racial information if it’s apparent in an essay or a list of extracurricular activities.”
