[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NCS concentrates on the top 10% of the graduating class.  They are professional, but not too interested in the rest of the class. [/quote]

this is untrue.  1) the top 8 girls in the grade essentially all get in early to their top choice.  2)[b]I had a middle of the road kid who was not going to a top 20 school and the counselors spent a good deal of time helping her sort through schools she would have a good chance of getting into... schools ranging from Tulane to Kenyon to IU [/b]3) when she did not get into her top choices they advocated for her at her top choice and she was eventually taken off the wait list.  I am so sick of blind NCS bashing on this board.  In the Holton post today they jabbed NCS in the second sentence.  Its ridiculous.[/quote]

This is impressive --  and I'm not an NCS parent.[/quote]

Tulane, Kenton and IU are not impressive for Ncs. [/quote]

I'm the PP you quoted and I was commenting about the process, not outcomes (though I'd also say that these are fine schools).  In the end, the real measure of the outcome is whether the student and her family feel that the counselor helped them figure out what kind of school she wanted and how to present her credentials as effectively as possible.
