[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GDS parent here:  there are 30 plus kids not accounted for on the GDS Insta college posting site since the kids decide of they want to post  At least 5 who decided not to post got into top Ivy League schools (one Harvard one Yale and 3 other Ivies I know of (nice they didn't want to brag but I am sharing this for purposes if the discussion,) .  The total to Ivies plus stanford and MIT is abput 25-30 people which is about 20-25 percent of the class.  I think this is pretty typical for GDS. I have heard anecdotally that Sidwell had a tough year- no one early into Brown etc. And St Albans had a typical year similar to GDS.[/quote]

It's amusing that the GDS parents who post here fixate on that Brown-Sidwell situation from '2022 and neglect to think about the other 7 Ivies or the other 14 top schools.  Sidwell '22 had a great year.  Amazing, if you have insider knowledge about legacy and realize that a ton of these admits aren't legacies or athletes.  Or BIPOC

Most (all?) of the Harvard kids and most of the Yale kids didn't post on this year's IG. It was student created/driven and some abstained. [/quote]
