[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell, GDS, STA/NCS, Maret and Holton are so similar in terms of academic rigor and college acceptances that really should be choosing among them based on other factors, i.e. "fit" for location, social atmosphere, specific sports or arts programs, single sex vs coed. It is just not useful to focus on gradations of academic strength among these schools. In any given year, the % of NMSFs or kids going to HYPS and other top schools is going to fluctuate at each school, but all are very good, and the point is to be around sufficient other academically-motivated and talented kids particularly in high school so that the course offerings and peer-stimulation will be optimal for even the most academically-talented kid.[/quote] Yes it depends on how many legacies and siblings are in a class. They lower the average of the kids that were accepted because they truly should be there. [/quote] Just plain ignorant[/quote]
