According to that, Basis isn’t better than Sidwell.  It’s better than GDS, but not Sidwell.[/quote]

The PP is a joke. Basis is not a real option. PS  Last year GDS had the best college admits of all the privates. 6 kids were admitted to Harvard etc, etc. [b]This year was a college admittance  blood bath at Sidwell[/b]. Parents are irate.[/quote]

How so? Sidwell is sending at least one student to EVERY Ivy+ school this year (as usual). There are at least 2 students heading to Stanford and 2 going to MIT this fall (there’s usually no more than 1 MIT student per class). The majority of Sidwell’s 125 seniors are attending T50 schools or better.

Btw, GDS is not doing nearly as well as Sidwell this year. And they did about the same as Sidwell last year. Last year, GDS sent 6 to Harvard and Sidwell sent 6 to Penn (3 of whom are at Wharton). They sent about the same percentage of students to Ivies last year.

If you want to see a blood bath, look at GDS’ 2023 college matriculations. 😱 [/quote]

Ok -I'll bite.  Sidwell '23 was VERY HIGHLY skewed to hooked students - only a couple of unhooked broke through (if you don't count the Chicago ED shortcut crew).  '23 was a bloodbath at both schools for unhooked students.[/quote]
