Not at all.

Yes, it’s a much better educational experience. [/quote]
It's an inferior academic product [/quote]

That’s your baseless opinion. What’s important is that  colleges agree with me. As posted upthread,  “Sidwell consistently sends a higher percentage of graduates to Ivy+ colleges than the W schools.”

Facts are facts, and opinions are like

What facts did you just show with your link? Did it show that "Sidwell consistently sends a higher percentage of graduates to Ivy+ colleges than the W schools"? Do you know what fact is, a-hole?
Idiot [/quote]

You clearly struggle with reading comprehension. You must be a W school graduate. 😝 [/quote]
Again where in the link it shows that "Sidwell consistently sends a higher percentage of graduates to Ivy+ colleges than the W schools"?
Help me out[/quote]

Did you click on the link? I’ll make it easy, just focus on Ivies. Select every W school, look at the number of applicants to each Ivy, and then look at the number of students admitted—simple math. Next, compare those numbers to Sidwell’s c/o ‘23 (about 80-85% of graduating seniors posted on Instagram). Sidwell’s posts only include matriculants to specific colleges. There are several Sidwell students who are admitted to more than one Ivy every year. Despite that fact, Sidwell sent/sends/will send a much larger percentage of students to Ivies  than any of the W schools. [/quote]
Yes and the link doesn't show the "fact" that "Sidwell consistently sends a higher percentage of graduates to Ivy+ colleges than the W schools".  In fact the link doesn't have anything to do with Sidwell,  much less showing your so-called facts. You clearly don't understand facts. 
You're clearly not too bright.

Sticks and stones, dear.

I see those poor public W school matriculation stats have upset you. I cannot relate—lol. [/quote]
Of course you cannot relate. We have more matriculations than you, without having to pay $50,000+ a year.  :lol: 
Like I said,  you're not too bright. [/quote]

Oh, I see you don’t understand how percentages work. I knew you were a W(oeful) grad—lol.

Cheer up, your children are used to public school, so they will feel right at home at Maryland state universities. It’s a good thing you didn’t “waste” your money paying for your children’s education at a W school. Based on these W(oeful) admissions stats, you would be absolutely enraged.

Let’s use Whitman as an example.
#Applications/#Admitted:

1. Brown:  41/0
2. Columbia:  29/0
3. Cornell:  67/3
4. Dartmouth:  20/0
5. Harvard:  28/0
6. Princeton:  25/2
7. UPenn:  63/3
8. Yale:  33/3
Total = 306/11

Whitman seniors submitted 306 applications to the Ivies, but only 11 students were admitted. That’s a 3.5% admissions rate!

On the other hand, this is how they fared at Salisbury (27/22); UMBC (148/130); and UMD (386/243).

Like I said earlier, I can’t relate. Sidwell can’t relate either because they send at LEAST 15-25% of their students to Ivies EVERY year (not to mention the total number of admits). Good luck!

1. Where's the admission stats for Sidwell? How can  we compare? Goodness 
2. Going by percentage is irrelevant and pointless  because schools are Limited by the number of admittance. 
Once again,  you showed that you are not very bright. [/quote]

Good Morning W(oeful) grad/parent!

1. Instagram (Sidwell c/o 2023). Look it up. 83% of the graduating seniors posted, and based on Instagram posts alone 17/125 (13.6%) are Ivies. I personally know 4 students from that class who didn’t post. They are currently freshman at Ivies this year (21/125=16.8%). Btw, there were several 2023 Sidwell grads who were admitted to more than one Ivy that year, so the overall Ivy admissions rate is much higher than 16.8% (and MUCH higher than 3.5%).

2. You don’t understand percentages or college admissions policies. Private colleges can select as many students from a particular high school as they want. There are a couple of NYC privates that consistently send 20-35% of their graduates to Ivies (and they’re the same size as Sidwell). Unlike you, I’m not going to try to make excuses. Those colleges clearly prefer those NYC privates for whatever reason. [/quote]
My goodness, you're are truly dumb.
1.Instagram posts and anecdotes are NOT facts! Where are the stats for Sidwell?
2. Harvard would not admit no more than 10 students from Whitman, even though way more than 10 would qualify. Hence limited admittance.
Gosh you're slow and clueless.[/quote]

Your words: “Harvard would not admit no more than 10 students from Whitman…” 
Actually, Harvard admitted ZERO students from Whitman, despite receiving 28 applications from Whitman students.

This is the way you speak, yet you refer to me as “dumb, slow, and clueless.” 😂 
When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.

The facts have been presented, you just don’t like them. I understand—I can’t imagine sending my child to a high school where students submit 40, 50, 60+ applications to certain colleges, and ZERO students are admitted.

You don’t have the range or intellect for this discussion. Try to enjoy the rest of your day. [/quote]
