[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a GDS parent. We’re just getting underway re this. While I don’t love the cap, it has logic. Kids we know at other schools are applying to 18-22 colleges. That seems pretty nutty. I would be surprised if these kids can really execute successfully on that many school applications. Plus there are cases where top students run the table on all the top schools making it harder for everyone else. Sidwell does seem to have joined the private school-to-uchicago thing quite effectively as have some NY private schools. Beyond that, there are a lot of hooked kids in all these private schools for the Ivy League in particular. So I, at least, take the whole thing w a degree of humility. I certainly wouldn’t have picked another school for my kids based on this. [/quote]

Oooh, is that why WIS sends so many to UChicago? That was one of the things that surprised me on their matriculation list. I expected more of an international spread (with, of course, the usual Ivies and top American schools), but UChicago showed up a lot.  I had no idea it was "a thing".[/quote]
