I would imagine these are strong academic cohorts across the board, which Sidwell is known to select for. [/quote]

The facts say otherwise: https://bethesdamagazine.com/2024/09/17/where-do-moco-students-attend-college/

Please let me know which MoCo “magnet schools and top publics” have results that are similar to Sidwell’s. Make sure you control for size (Sidwell only has 125/grade in the U.S.). [/quote]

Bethesda Magazine data has already been debunked. Keep up.[/quote]

By whom? You and your hurt feelings.

For those of you who are interested in facts, here’s one example: According to the data, out of 353 MoCo students (10 different high schools) that applied to Harvard, 4 were admitted. Sidwell sent 4 to Harvard last year, and they’re sending 3 this year. I don’t know how many students applied last year, but Sidwell only has 125 students/class and all of them did not apply to Harvard.

Talk about cherry-picking. Okay, just based on commitment posts RMIB and Blair are each sending 3+ students to Yale and 3+ students to MIT this year. Plus students to HPS, many to Duke and Penn etc. Same sized cohort.

[/quote]

Cherry picking? No, Sidwell has the whole cherry tree. Are you shocked that a free STEM magnet school is sending 3 students to MIT? Sidwell is not a STEM school and it’s sending 2 [b]students to MIT this year.[/b] In addition, 2 Sidwell students are going to Yale, 3 are going to Princeton, and 2 are going to Stanford. Next…[/quote]
They are sending 2 to MIT this year? How many did they send last year? Or the year before? Before?Zero, zero,  zero [/quote]

Sidwell to MIT:
2025: 2
2024: 0
2023: 1

Did you miss the part about Sidwell not being a STEM-focused school? Yet, in any given year, they’re still sending only 1-3 students fewer to MIT than a “top” STEM focused high school.

We can go round for round on Sidwell’s admissions to Ivy+ universities, compared to those two STEM magnets, but you don’t want that fight. [/quote]
You can make up numbers as much as you like, but they're wrong. 
For the last 4 years ('20-24), they have been a grand total of Zero, nil,  MIT matriculation from  Sidwell. [/quote]

You are loud and wrong. The student in question is a computer science and economics major. Go look at Sidwell’s 2023 IG page and then come back and apologize. [/quote]

As I said,  there have been Zero MIT matriculation from Sidwell.

I see you’re determined to be willfully ignorant because the facts don’t align with your narrative. This dubious website is wrong, and so are you. Whomever is running that scam website also posted that GDS sent 1 student to Harvard last year (wrong!). I will continue to rely on Sidwell’s SCOIR data and the fact that I personally know the MIT student. You can continue to wallow in your ignorance and envy. [/quote]
LOL.
The website is wrong but we should believe your made up numbers, which you haven't posted any verifiable link to, right?
You could not make this $hit up.[/quote]

Not only are you ignorant, you’re also lazy. 
Go to Sidwell’s c/o 2023 IG page and see for yourself. You can also go to Sidwell’s CCO website to see that between 2021-2024, they sent at least one student to MIT. [/quote]
You're not too bright, are you?
I'll let you figure it out. [/quote]
NP. You seem confused. MIT is listed on Sidwell’s matriculation list for 2021-2024. I’m unclear why you think you or some random aggregation site know better than Sidwell’s own college office. 
https://www.sidwell.edu/academics/college-counseling/college-matriculation[/quote]

+1. Especially when it’s clear that same site listed the wrong number of c/o 2024 GDS graduates who attended Harvard. That site has no credibility. [/quote]
