[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GDS sends a larger percentage of its seniors to top colleges. [/quote] So does Maret.[/quote] But does a student get into a “top” college because their education prepared them in an exceptional manner or because their parent is a former National Security Advisor or current cable news anchor?[/quote] This happens at GDS too. I think that GDS had four students accepted ED to Harvard This year. I think three of the four were legacies. I am also sure they were excellent candidates. GDS, Maret, Sidwell, and other area independents have children of prominent parents. So do the public schools in the close in (wealthy) suburbs. Also, some children of prominent parents actually work hard and have excellent grades, test scores, and ECs. Do they get a boost in college admissions? Yes. But that happens at all the schools. —nonprominent parent[/quote]
