[quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure if disappointment is the right word, but I know that I was not alone in being “shocked” as the matriculation at my DC’s Big 3 private school became evident to me (after more than 7 years at the school). Though the school doesn’t publish a matriculation list (and certainly doesn’t make any promises), I’d been led to believe that most of students matriculated to Ivy caliber colleges. It’s now clear to me that a majority are not even matriculating to Top 25 schools. We’ve adjusted to this reality and have calibrated expectations accordingly, but it was a shock at the time. My advice to anyone who considers matriculation lists important is don’t trust anecdotal “word of the street” information – most of it is wrong.[/quote]
