[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

what schools did they unsuccessfully apply to for EA/ED[/quote]
It’s incredible that they would pretend to know which schools all of 60 kids have applied to and which they have been accepted to.[/quote]

huh?
-It's all posted on social media by kids as soon as the results are out.  Then they update their instagram heading: "Duke '26" or whatever.  My kid in in 9th grade at a different Big3 and she and all her friends talk about where the seniors they know (and don't know) got in and where they didn't. 
Granted, this is a bit nuts for a 9th grader to be thinking about but that is another conversation.  :?
-also it sounds like the kids this poster is referring to is a group of about 15 in the highest math/science track and not a school-wide group of 60.  Those 15 definitely know who got in and who did not get in.  [/quote]
