[quote=Anonymous][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]

It takes more than straight A’s to stand out. That is on your daughter to stand out not solely on NCS. Why are you stalking private Instagrams of minor children? That is more concerning to me than college admissions. [/quote]
OP isn’t stalking private Instagrams. She looked at the public NCS 2022 destination page. I just did so as well, because I was surprised and skeptical when I first saw this thread. I am not affiliated with the school and have no knowledge of which kids may have hooks, but OP is not exaggerating much. There are a few impressive (to me, anyway) destinations she didn’t include in her list, among them Davidson, UCLA, UNC, UTAustin and Middlebury. [/quote]

A few Georgetown. Do you know how hard it is to get into Georgetown? I just want to hear from OP how she thinks she knows the legacy status of all these kids. Remember, she doesn't have a kid in this grade. OP, did you google them all? [/quote]
