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!

[/quote]

But how many of the sidwell students admitted are legacies?[/quote]

I don’t know. How many of 11 Whitman students admitted were legacies?  [/quote]

Would be great to know that too! [/quote]

Can y’all start another thread and stop trying to hijack this one?[/quote]
