[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Stanford is out already, as are some elite SLAC colleges.  So far, so good[/b] [b]at our "Big 3" NW DC private.[/b]  Fingers crossed, and good luck to all.[/quote]

And so the Sidwell admissions bragging thread has begun.  How do I know?  The over-emphasizing of Stanford specifically, and under-emphasis on - by not specifically naming them - the more general "elite SLAC colleges."  For Sidwell families, if it isn't HPSY, then it is not important enough to detail.   Your student was probably admitted to Stanford.[/quote]

Thank you for the understated posted gloating in its enthusiasm ("So far, so good") that [i]all[/i] of your "Big 3 NW DC private" school's EA applicants to "Stanford" and "some elite SLAC colleges" were admitted (again, the "So far, so good").  It is really a bit insensitive coming on the heels of so many other previous posts expressing students' disappointment at not being admitted to those or other schools.  [/quote]

Insufferable really.  Which Big 3 school is already bragging?[/quote]
