[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is almost a straight A student in lower high school (a few A minuses). She works really hard for these grades.  I've been looking at the college admissions this year and it really seems like you have about 25 girls going ti top colleges and (outside of two girls) ALL are legacy, URM  or crew athletes. Then the admissions seem to go off a cliff. thank goodness for u of Chicagj because that seems it be the solo outlier. 
I am not looking for an IVY admit (at all) but I'm getting freaked out by the schools that girls outside of the above categories are attending. I won't name names but they're in instagram.

Tell it to my straight.  A/a- student. 
Did anyone apply their daughter from NCS  this year?  Where are we looking at?[/quote]

You are completely insane. I don’t even think you are an NCS parent because if you were you would know that more than 25 girls are going to top schools. Troll post. [/quote]

No, they're not.  Look at the Instagram.  65 out of the class of 71 are posted.

The Ivies are all athletes/legacy/URM aside from ONE.
The other kids max out at Chicago (3 posted but there are 4 admits total) 
None of the top 20 schools listed in the above posts are represented AT ALL.

Sure, I get that you don't want to hear this but these results are not great for the smart kids outside of the crew athletes and a few legacies. 
You're either a parent with your head completely in the sand or you're a school administrator.  
I don't see the point in lying about reality.  It doesn't serve anyone at the school to deny this. 
I'm a parent and I'm concerned because this is sobering.

Ask the majority of senior parents this year:  they are not happy.
