[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh please. A million people always apply to Penn from every HS in the east coast. People want to go there! It has nothing to do with not "fine tuning" the kids choices. [/quote]

I would also echo the prior poster who noted that there is a "through the looking glass" Queen of Hearts quality to this sort of criticism, given the parallel thread o' craziness in which people assert that "Big 3" counselors discriminatorily steer students away from applying to the same Ivies in order to protect spots for the rich and powerful.

I'm sure the bottom line is nothing more and nothing less than a lot of kids and families looking at the Naviance statistics for Penn and realize they have a chance at what is a world-class university and an Ivy League school (for those who care about that particular distinction), so lots apply.[/quote]

Sidwell Friends is one of several independent schools that won't share its Naviance statistics directly with students and families.  I believe that their view is that in a relatively small school, it would be too easy to identify specific students with the data.[/quote]
