[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]

You could do two things: lobby new HOS for weighted GPA AND lobby for return of mandatory SAT/ ACT ( recruited Athletes at Ivies are still mandated to take the SAT, btw)

Despite what Lot's of people say, in todays " test optional" college landscape those hard grading, high expectation setting ( and accustomed Teachers) just haven't set their product up well to compete by comparison. I mean with all of those B's and B+'s they give.

NOT in an Era where its all the rage to Admit public school A students with NO SAT scores submitted

NCS is a storied school that provided a great education, but it needs to adapt to the current admissions landscape. Otherwise, at a certain point it is biting the hand that feeds it.[/quote]
