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

You neeed to breakdown: recruited athletes, legacies and URMs + see if anyone outside those categories were accepted.[/quote]

NP here but this breakdown will never happen: no one knows all of that info.  But the narrative that each of these kids are legacies, athletes or minorities is false.  Some are but way fewer than the DCUM mafia claim.[/quote]

I did not write that. I am saying people need a breakdown to see if they even have a chance at Ivy entry if they are not a VIP legacy, , recruited legacy or top performing URM. (TBH, mine was a recruited atlete at HYP and the only one from their private here to be accepted their year.[/quote]
