[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell college admissions a disaster this year in the early round...parents are up in arms. For some reason GDS and St Albans are doing better, not great but OK.  It's a strange year but worth noting Sidwell College admissions have been in flux for several years.[/quote]

Really? I know of at least 30 kids from the grade who got in to their ED's. How is that a disaster?[/quote]

[b]Most kids who took the most challenge math and science courses didn't get in to their ED/EA. [/b] [/quote]

I'm a Sidwell parent, not of a Senior but one whose child takes these courses, and this doesn't bother me.  It would seem that these kids are going to reach for the most competitive schools and the chances of getting into a single school of that caliber ED/EA is still a crapshoot.  My guess is these kids will eventually end up at a highly competitive school when they cast their net to include a larger list of such schools. It is not a failure of the Sidwell college admissions team if your hard curriculum, high stats kid is not accepted EA/AD to a lottery school that has 10 kids just like you for each spot.   [/quote]
